MBAs in Canada Any Good for US Recruitment?
I've been looking into some Canadian MBAs as of late and saw that it really comes down to a small list:
- Tier 1
- Ivey Western (best for Consulting)
- Queens
- Rotman (best for Finance)
- Tier 2
- Schulich
- McGill
I wanted to see if anyone's gone through these programs and successfully recruited into US market. I'm considering their respective Part-TIme MBAs since financing is a priority (also the reason why US MBAs are not a viable option). My intent would be pursue them alongside full-time employment, fund it through scholarships or financial aid separate of the corporate sponsorship (which is not a lot for a hefty lockup period).
If my ultimate goal is US recruitment, I see it as having two options:
(1) I go through these programs and opt for a firm rotation ~1.5 years after working in the Canadian office
(2) I recruit directly and receive sponsorship
This is a huge investment in both time and money and I've also read mixed stories regarding the value of Canadian MBA (to the US and European counterparts).
Any thoughts?tl;dr - Canadian MBAs for US recruitment: yay or nay?
Look at their employment reports. Only a few percent each year go to the states and its unclear what kind of roles they get.
Generally, if you want to do well in the USA, you need an American MBA
Sure if you want to get any job in US, any MBA from Canada could do
But even in a place like canada, those who are doing well for themselves professionally know the difference in quality and pedigree of a t10 graduate from US vs. A Canadian MbA.
Nay. Extremely unlikely, while the costs are still relatively high.
