Do schools contact the candidate's advisor / co-authors after a flyout/job talk, to see their preferences?

Yes. Its fairly rare that they will contact your advisor without the personal connection, but given the size of our field, most of the schools a candidate will interview at are within the same strata where the advisor is likely to have connections with the other schools.

Bocconi updated the list. Now they have 3 from NYU,1 Cornell, 1 Wharton , 1 HEC, 1 Emory, 1 NUS, 1 Boston and 1 Pittsburg. What an ambitious list!
We’ll see.
Bocconi will not get any of these people.

They just want to try their luckThere are rookies and I think Bocconi will be able to get at least one.

do they pay well? comparable to US salaries?

If they are not from EU, why the hell apply for Bocconi anyway? For a free trip? With that, you can imagine their numbers of applications for US schools.

Not sure about the actual pay but you can benchmark it with UK pay, if not less. Even a US teaching school pays higher than most UK research schools. In general, US pays WAY higher than all the rest thanks to the generous tuition paid by domestic and numerous foreign students.

1. Bocconi is a decent school, certainly one of the better schools in EU.
2. Lifestyle matters. Not everyone wants to live in Blacksburg. Some want a city like Milan, at least for a period.
3. Yes, EU schools pay less, but in the US you pay for a lot of things that are not publicly provided including healthcare, which can cost a lot. For a family, just the insurance can be about $10K/year.
4. This year some of these candidates may not end up with offers. -
Love how you specifically mentioned Blacksburg, did they upset/reject you?

Milan is of course a nice city but not that convenient if you do not speak Italian. I just don't think those candidates seriously consider Boccoli. Maybe one or two but certainly most don't.

4. This year some of these candidates may not end up with offers.The US pay can easily be 2-3 times more than EU, if they are from schools like nyu, wharton etc. Money gap like that can easily buy happiness. Yes, there are guys from top school went to Boccoli. But they are from Italy. If they do not speak the language, what is the lifestyle you were talking about ?

It is Bocconi my friend, not Boccoli. Were you thinking of broccoli?
