Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out! Congrats on the acceptances to both schools! These types of decisions really boil down to where you ultimately want to be. You listed five locations on where you want to work, but you should really prioritize. If location isn’t that important to you and working in Canada fits your plan, landing at Sauder will serve as a great option with the best chance at landing a job in Canada with the upside of potentially getting a role in your other preferred locations. There is certainly more risk going to HKU as recruiters tend to focus on native speakers and they’re likely to have fewer opportunities outside of HK. But, that said, brand is important! So you not only have to think about where your chances at landing a job might be a bit better, but also what brand you want on your resume for the rest of your career. There's no right answer here but you should definitely speak with as many students as possible at each program. What do they think of their experiences?
Hope this helps!
