UBC Sauder vs Schulich MBA For Marketing 11 Oct 2018, 12:44

I am a software engineer from India and will have 3.5 - 4 years of work experience when I join the MBA in Schulich (JAN 2019) or Sauder (AUG 2019) ( have received admits for both). I am interested in marketing/brand management/product management and that would be my first choice for a job (preferably in CPG companies) (even though it would be a complete shift for me). After that it would be the IT sector. I have worked in Financial Services and Manufacturing (Automobile) companies till now (as a software engineer).

I am not too keen on Consulting Or Finance

So the major difference between the 2 programs is location - Vancouver vs Toronto. From what I have read around in forums there are less job opportunities in Vancouver. However, I could not find enough information about marketing jobs or IT specifically.

The other difference is the program in Schulich is significantly more expensive (around CAD 21000 more). And I am not sure if the brand value of Schulich is worth that much more. However, in most MBA rankings, Schulich is ranked higher than UBC Sauder. But interestingly for "Business And Management" studies in general UBC is ranked higher.

I like the curriculum of both programs, and do not have a strong preference in that regard.

Personally, I would want to live in Vancouver, but not at the cost of struggling to find a job
