POLL Rotman Vs ESADE- Where to enroll?

LOL. Not rushed to take jobs? That's the biggest pile of horse doodoo that I have heard about graduates not being rushed to take a job. That's someone trying to cover up for crappy recruiting numbers. I mean, everyone loves Ramen Noodles and being a poor student and not being rushed to take a job, right?

The reality is that once you get through your first year, you are getting old of the poverty. It hits esp hard during the summer between first and second years as that is a Looong semester.

You have heard correctly - Canada prefers experience to just an education and you can't fault them for that either. I would not hire someone who thinks they want to be a financial analyst and someone who has not made the mistakes - I don't want them learning at my expense. Another thing with Canada is that there has been an influx of students and highly qualified applicants who chose to pursue their MBA outside of the United States. Canada got a big bump, which would make life a bit harder for career switchers to compete for the best opportunities. In addition, Canada does not pay as well, but the plus side is that citizenship is not hard to get, or at least is easier than the US Citizenship.

P.S. I don't think Spain's economy is that great but you do have the benefit of speaking Spanish which will give you a bit of a leg up on all the other international students but I think 3 month OPT is just too risky. I have seen it taking people until January to find a decent position/job. I am afraid I don't know enough about Spain and perhaps the job market is much more amazing than that, but I would also be leaning towards Rotman - top program in Canada and even though it is a small pond, you would be a big fish there... even if you have to compete with your classmates.

Good Luck!

Thank you for the analysis! Wish I get lucky in the recruitmen haha


The explanation felt a bit weird for me as well...It‘s difficult to buy such a thing. However, I remember seeing some statistics showing that over 80% of Rotman MBA graduates stay in Canada... So it seems like there’s a real chance to work in Canada, which helps to pay the debt in the same currency of the school’s location.

On the other side, I can recall seeing that only 36% of Non-Europeans are able to secure a job in Europe in the 3-month period. Not sure if that means that the other 64% aren’t able or that they have no interest in Europe.

I’m not sure that the true reason really matters... it likely indicates that they were not able to find employment in Europe that was better than options elsewhere. It could mean that they did not get good options or that the options they received weren’t as good as what they could get elsewhere or perhaps if they got nothing at all. It’s not essential really which of these is the most likely scenario, as it poorly reflects on opportunities in southern Europe.
