Rotman is a fine Canadian school, one of the best. However the job opportunities are sometimes less prestigious or harder to get than if you went to the US. Without being well-versed in the asset management industry, I would say it will definitely give you a chance, but it'll be competitive.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
