Hi All,
I am international student with a strong finance background (CFA) and 10 years work experience. Looking to pivot to IB. Preferably USA. What would you recommend - Rotman MBA v Gies (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) MSF. US MBA programs tend to be more expensive and hence applied for MSF. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for the help.

I don't think IB's hire from Gies really or Roman really either. I am not sure how strong or substantial Canadian IB sector is so perhaps I should not be judging it but I may anyway 
My guess is you need to do some research about what career paths are actually open to you and are logical after graduation. It is great have dreams and goals that are aimed high.
I think going into MSF, you are going to find yourself with 10-year younger class that will be recruiting into more junior positions and will give you few opportunities to be desired. Rotman may be a better overall fit if you have strong work experience with brands - that's all that matters in Canada is that you have strong brands on your resume and the school does not really drive that much of an advantage.
P.s. not sure if you have a strong preference for countries. Obviously going to Rotman puts you into Canada and Gies into US and you can't really go from Rotman into the US market unless you have a green card or you are a US Citizen.

Here is the list of students at Rotman MBA (obviously without names) having internships in an investment banking role right now. Note that there are other students who are doing investment banking but their roles do not directly say so. (i.e., M&A advisory roles)
IMO, you can easily find an Investment Banking role in Canada if you have a work experience in Finance. If you network hard, you may have chances in the USA. No idea about the other school or the USA.
Best of luck.
