I have been admitted at both the schools above and would like to know any special advantage that Rotman might offer to offset the low tuition cost and higher starting salaries at Foster.

Are you looking/willing to work in Canada post-MBA? If so, Rotman is definitely the way to go. Rotman does have slightly better access to the US than other Canadian schools but if you'd like to work in the US, Foster is the better school. Plus, the Seattle location yields some unique advantages.

First off, congratulations on getting admitted to both Foster and Rotman!
The question, really, is what you want to do post-MBA, what you did pre-MBA (as this often matters) and where you want to work. Your choice should be guided by that.
For both schools, about 40% land jobs in consulting/finance/accounting. I'm sure the functions and roles will vary by location but I would look closely at the career stats for your desired industry/function/role. For that, I would also speak to a) alums who are working in those fields and b) current students going through recruiting for those fields. They would be able to give you a much better picture of what you can expect.
Do also keep in mind that the salary depends on the job as well. For Foster, 96% got jobs on the west (I would assume a LARGE number in Seattle). It goes as high as 145k and as low as 40k. Don't go by average statistics alone. Of course, TYPICALLY, the US pays more than Canada. There are exceptions and again, it all depends on your goals.
Good luck!

. My prior work exp has been in Tech industry and then most recent stint in a boutique consulting firm that deals mostly in credit risk management of SMEs and retail business. For both the schools I had to put up different essays to reflect on the strengths of the program. Having spent close to three years in Risk I wanted to explore more of Finance , but I guess Seattle would be a difficult choice to leave. I am really impressed by the sheer number of Prod Mgmt roles that Amazon has to offer, not to forget the likes of MS , Expedia , Starbucks and T-Mobile could turn out to be equally attractive options. I want to move to BD roles as soon as possible after my B School and then in another 4-5 years would try to get into a VC firm investing in tech startups. I cannot see where Fin would take me and honestly having worked in this industry for sometime I am really looking forward to move out of it.
