Hi Experts,
I'm looking for your advice on whether I should take Rotman's offer or wait for an year betting on a top 15 ranked U.S school.
Background:
Career: Indian IT Consultant, 8 years experience
Age: 30 Years
GMAT: 710
Under-graduation: Engineering Degree with not so impressive GPA
Domain: Technology Consultant
Writing & Interview skills: Very effective
Interest: MBA General Management/Marketing
Ambition: Marketing for technology products
As everyone is aware that Rotman is known for its Finance education and most if its recruiters will be from Finance co's. Is it worth for a General Management education seeker to sit in a finance oriented group to save an year.
Pro's of Rotman:
1) Location Toronto: Wife would be able to take a full time job in Toronto. Also Toronto has many tech companies for my future
2) Good reputation of Rotman in N.A and internship
3) Starting in August 2013 so will save an year of my life
Con's of Rotman:
1) Known for Finance
2) Canada offers fewer opportunities compared to US.
3) Placements: Not sure how many tech companies in Toronto pick their interns/staff from Rotman
My 2nd option is to continue in my tech role for an year more and shoot for the top 15 US schools.
There is no guarantee that I will get there but at least, I won't lose anything big other than being an year late for my dream career.
In this 1 year, I'm planning to have a few management related certifications under my belt.
Please help me take this tough call as I'm equally balanced as on today and time is running out for me.
Regards,
Horseman
