You're from York. Go do a respectable MBA first.

Oh that's just how it is. It's easier for the firm to sell Rotman and Western vs York to clients. Same way it is easier to tell a client the entire field is M7 vs Rotman or Western. There are levels. If you want MBB you should do FT Rotman then recruit from there. That's the easiest way in Canada.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.

I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
