Congratulations on getting admits from Olin and Rotman. Neither of the two schools place good number of students in Tech. But between the two of them, Olin is better for a career in technology.

Good Luck!

It primarily depends on the country you want to be settled in finally.

Rotman is the TOP Program of Canada and you get an opportunity to interview with the major consulting firms and investment banks within that region as you are joining the LOCAL KING. However, it may not offer you opportunities in Tech. So, you got to ask yourself how important are your ambitions to be in the technology industry.

Olin: it is again an amazing program, and if you want to be in the U.S. and a country is more important, join OLIN. You may not get to interview with the giants as U.S has many MANY other competitive schools for the top recruiters, but you will be in a larger economy( U.S. Vs Canada).

US was my first choice to do an MBA with the condition that I will go to only top 20 school. So I kept Rotman as an backup option. Through my research I have found out that recruiters in Canada prefer Canadian experience and relevant experience. So its very difficult to switch career in Rotman. Especially for Indian IT Male. But recently I received an admit from Olin so confused where to go. Olin is also not tech heavy school and also location is not so good from tech sector perspective.
