Options for international MBA grad in Canada with low hours and high compensation

Hey

I am an incoming MBA candidate at Rotman. I have a total of 44 months of work experience. Most recently, I have worked in a reference data firm out of India's office for a little over 2.5 years. Think: Bloomberg, Refinitiv, IHS Markit etc. There was research work involved but the scope was very minute. I have worked in the audit/tax division of a big 4 for an year earlier. My undergrad GPA was 3.5 and I scored 740 in GMAT. I have also cleared CFA Level 2. Post my MBA, I would want to work in a role that pays over 100k per annum but at the same time would not want to work over 45 - 50 hours per week. Could anyone who is currently working in Toronto please share inputs on this?

What are my options? What should I aim for? 

Any other suggestions?

Just curious, what other schools did you apply to? Your profile should have been competitive with the US T20 schools. Rotman MBA is great, but the US has so many more finance opportunities than Canada.
