I would disagree with your statement "Rotman's employment report is far more impressive than any other in Canada." If you do a comparison of employment reports, their placement rates are lower than Smith and Ivey. I had been in contact with Rotman in November asking for the results from the class that graduated in 2019. They indicated that the report would be available in December and it is still not available on their website. In the Financial Times rankings, they have the lowest placement rate and average salary of any of the Canadian MBA programs ranked. They are also ranked 100 (out of the 100 schools ranked) for Value for Money. The Value for Money is "calculated using salary today, course length, fees and other costs, including not working during MBA.". This certainly does not come across impressive.

Quoted from their employment reports as their headline employment stat, wonder why Ivey is not telling us the % employed.
As for Post-MBA Salaries you have to understand that because Ivey and Smith are 1-year programs they attract less international applicants, because your work auth based off a 1 year graduate degree in Canada is only 1 year.
If you graduate from a 2 year graduate program, you get a work auth for 3 years.
Hence, as salaries for Canadian citizens are higher in general, there's a bias in the numbers.
The biggest advantage Rotman has is the proximity to the company HQ's. I know working at a Big 4, we send lower level employees to London and Kingston, whereas our partners tend to attend Toronto based events.
