Hello Mastercard employees. I have been trying to break into MC for long now.
I have 2 yrs workex post MBA. I have experience in data analysis and consulting. But I don't want to get into consulting anymore. I am looking for analytics roles. Anyone here would be able to DM and guide me on the available options at Mastercard?

Came from Europe and deeply miss culture / friends / people. Money here is great but it is not everything. I am grateful for being here but will return in 5 years
Second this! US is great for financially setting yourself up but long term Europe is a far better lifestyle.
Canada - Especially that Vancouver is your top pick and it sounds like you have the background to get a job that pays well enough to enjoy it.
Why not live in north west US if family is in Vancouver?
Canada... a less “live to work” culture
Do you like money? If yes then obvious choice

KPMG1 - Being a Canadian, having lived in SoCal, I can attest to it being the closest. The sarcasm makes me think you don't thinks so. Why not? Where is more like Canada?

Think about weather and the variety of landscapes as well. The US has more to offer

KPMG1 - Were you the one in the consulting bowl being a racist?
Canadian working in the US here. I’ve thought about this a lot too.
For me it boils down to:
1- would I want my future kids to be raised as Americans? -> No
2- would I want to face a serious medical problem and be subject to US healthcare (my dad got a cancer diagnosis and the chemotherapy drug alone would’ve been $75k in the US, everything free in Canada) —> No
3- do I fundamentally agree with American cultural values (lack of social solidarity, major inequality, money/fame/greed-driven culture; 70% of white American men voting for Trump) -> No
I hate Canadian weather (even Vancouver) and the country in general has less opportunities for high fliers, but at the end of the day, because of the reasons above, I’ve resolved myself to eventually end up back in Canada. Probably Vancouver too.
I have ties to Europe and have considered moving there, but at the end of the day, my extended family is all in Canada and I’d rather be close to them.

What is "long term" to you?
Rising Star
After MBA, where I will “settle” (eg buy a house, have kids etc)
Wherever friends, family and happiness in life that matters to you is. US is overrated for immigrants particularly in today’s time as globalization has led to everything being available everywhere. Money is good in the US but after a certain point the void of life is too real and post money buying you freedom it won’t buy your happiness. I’ve set myself up financially from the US, but returning to Europe for a happier life as I’ve got more family, friends and hobbies there resulting in a better lifestyle.

It’s interesting how the perspective of having been raised in the US changes you. I’m American and I really LOVE all the time I’ve spent in Canada and the UK (for different reasons but I point them both out as examples). I’ve wondered at times about living in either Toronto or London, or quitting consulting and trying to find a job in Vancouver.
Every time, I come back to “I work hard and kind of hate my job but so I wouldn’t want to work the same or more hours and take a pay cut”, especially when I consider that a lot of my disposable income can go to travel as it stands. Also, re: Canada, I like Toronto but don’t think it’s really anything cooler than Chicago (where I live now), and the really cool parts of Canada aren’t really any less accessible from Chicago (Covid notwithstanding).
