UK vs CANADA for International Students
I have got admission offers from University of Warwick(Low Target in UK) , Ivey AEO(Top Target in Canada)
Where would I have a better chance of getting into IB considering the fact that jobs in Canada are less but I am in a top target or UK where jobs are more but its a lower tier target and immense competition from europeans ?
I know ultimately it depends on me, but statistically where do I have a better chance?

I'd say Warwick. US recruiting from Canada has died down and UK IB > Canada IB. Warwick is also more prestigious internationally
thanks for the reply
Where do you see yourself working in the future? What are your goals?
I would like to recruit for the buyside ultimately, location doesnt matter since I am leaving my country anyway.I figured I could probably recruit for US from canada on TN visa since I will get citizenship in Canada within the 2 year analyst stint(thoroughly calculated) while in UK I am doubtful about buyside recruiting because of the visa and language issues(chances of the visa issue getting better because europeans will also need visa after brexit?)
please comment

Not sure about visa situation for international students for jobs in Canada but I'd go Ivey 100%.
Crazy placements in NYC (Evercore) and LA. One kid just got a FT offer to KKR.
thanks for replying
Very interesting analysis, where'd you get that table from?
Yeah exactly Ivey is the number one target in Canada but also a semi target in the US which is amazing. We have alumni at all the mega funds. Silverlake, Ares and KKR (although started this year but more in the coming years) take a decent number of analysts right out of undergrad. It is also much easier to go to the US from Ivey than Warwick. However, Ivey has almost no presence in the UK so I guess it depends where does OP see himself in a few years. If Europe is the goal, then obviously Warwick.

I don’t know too much about Warwick, but Ivey has a weirdly high amount of placements in great shops. I remember at one point there were 3 people working at Ackman’s fund
