How is Chicago Booth perceived in Canada?
Moved to Canada a year ago for immigration. Not familiar with this space. Got into Booth for MBA and would like to return to Canada after graduation for family reasons. Understand HBS has the strongest brand globally and that MBAs in Canada aren't perceived the same way as a US MBA degree, but just curious how are Booth graduates perceived in canada relative to graduates of Canadian MBA schools (Ivy; Rotman; Schulich whatever that's called, etc). Would love to hear from those who are actually in Canada, which ranks top in the world for CFAs on a per capita basis.
Also, interested in learning how does a top MBA program affect your date-ability profile in Toronto? lmfao.
Women will be all over you when they hear you went to “Booth”
Toronto is a small place, so it’s more about your network. I’m sure people will think it’s great in general. As for dating, man no one will care 😂
Yeah, the dating thing was a joke. But on the booth mba, is it considered prestigious by the Canadian corp workforce? Like let me give u a basic example, if I told anyone in Canada, I went to Harvard for MBA, that would elicit a "this guy's smart". How would you break down the perception of m7s in Toronto? genuinely curious because I don't know this. If this was US or UK, I wouldn't have asked this question. But Canadians appear to have a mind of their own
Honestly depends on the person. Some might not know anything about the US while others will recognize it's prestige.
I would say most people do not know about the US though
I’d say it’s a nice to have, but again network in Toronto is most important. I’d also ask yourself (unless you’re getting a free ride) if it makes sense to take out a bunch of USD debt just to come back to make CAD and get taxed at a marginal rate of 54% on the high end. You’d have optionality to work in the US for sure which has value too
It will certainly be perceived well by the kinds of people you'd be networking with for the job - it is obviously on another level in terms of reputation compared to the Canadian schools (I went to Ivey). the question is whether it will be enough to overcome the crony cachet of all the local schools there - if the guy hiring you is from the same school, there's a lot of bias.
The Booth name will open doors but network and your prior experience will take you all the way. Network is way way WAY more important here.
Network is being echoed by so many people. Yes, I know maybe 10-12 people in Canada overall. How does one build a network that is actually helpful here? I am not inheriting any relationships from my family.
