McGill University Placements: Job Opportunities and Salaries

• Here the job searching is totally different from India. Here you have to network by yourself with different people. Here, networking is everything! Your professor can help or can't, depending upon your relationship with the professor.
• But trust your talent; you will land something for sure. it may take some time, especially for international students, as they don't have Canadian experience.

• For finding accommodation, it is mostly through friends, which is the most trustworthy, as international students are more prone to SCAMS. Be aware of it!. Some other platforms are facebook marketplace, Kjiji.
• But make sure you sign the proper document and read the agreement terms and conditions. Some landlords create an issue, especially for those of Asian origin.

There is no on-campus placements like India. However, there are career fairs but they offer limited help. A student would have to build their network through events to secure a job. Also, in Montreal, the knowledge of French is must to find a job. Because of this requirement, a lot of students move to a different city to find a job.

The overall experience is pretty good. The campus has a lot of racial diversity and you meet people from different cultures and ethnicities. We have esteemed faculty and research professionals too. The campus has decent infrastructure with good wifi. The food options are limited on campus but we have good restaurants and fast food outlets nearby.

I am in the middle of my PhD now so I am not yet sure about the Biotech market in Canada right now. But as per my observation and analysis, a minimum of $80,000 per annum of salary could be obtained after a PhD degree. There is no such thing as placements. So its all about the networking, applications, skill development and being clear about the job roles which may land anyone in their dream jobs.

Wonderful phase of my life being at McGill. Plethora of opportunities, networking, funding, research ideas and resources availability are all amazing.

There are a lot of research opportunities available through the University. As for post study placement programs, it would depend on your field of study, but they tend to be more available for engineering or business students. Major companies take a lot of students from our graduate pool and they offer a number of students with intern programs or entry-level opportunities. Most of our students are able to find placement with good companies good jobs And good placement overall. Salaries will depend on field of study as well but overall McGill graduates would have an opportunity to be offered the higher range of entry level salaries.

Overall, I was really satisfied with my college experience. It was some of the best years of my life and expose me to some of the best friends I’ve ever made. It also jumped me onto a path of life long learning, which was very valuable.

You can get RA positions if you try hard enough. You can get an internship at the law firms. CDO (google it) helps you in the process too. But ultimately your efforts will decide your career, nothing else.

Law fac is something else at McGill University: Superb University culture, chill atrium with a Piano and ping pong table, massive networking opportunities, very-very friendly students (much better than anywhere else in Canada - based on the experience of students who were previously in UBC and UfT), and opportunity to learn French and experience French culture. Located in Montreal, a city like no other. The only drawback is that finding part-time jobs without french can be difficult. Also, NCA students will have to make more efforts than UfT or UBC students owing to location constraints. Remember, if you are in trouble, seek help and there will be some help around every corner. McGill Law is good at that.

Campus placements are not a thing in foreign countries and it is the responsibility of students to secure a full time job by attending job fairs and building connections.

McGill University, being one of the premier research institutes of the country has truly lived up to its expectations as it has given me a great platform to start my research career with its strong research abilities and a great international outlook. I'm really glad that I took this decision to pursue my masters from this university and looking forward to graduate soon.

There were various companies that visited from the big 4 accounting firms to various financial institutions, Banks and FMCG companies.

I chose this university due to its stature and location. Canada provides better opportunities for jobs after graduation that other countries.

I'm still studying. Most of the thesis students tend to continue and do their Ph.D. than go for industrial jobs. If students are interested to go into industrial jobs, they may get paid around 50,000 CAD/year for the research positions.

There were many reasons. A few of them are #1 - It's one of the world's top-ranked universities (ranked - 32 in the world) #2 - The course structure #3 - My area of interest that matches with the supervisor I selected #4 - Campus culture (got to know through my seniors & friends)

I am still in my 2nd year, so I am not aware of such things, but there are lots of companies that visit McGill including Google and Ubisoft. So I would say that it is all good.

McGill is considered one of the best Universities. In addition to this, it was cheaper than UBC and UofT. The course offered was really good and it good location.

The placements as promised by the university is very good. Students can get a job easily if they put enough effort into their studies which most students do as well.

This university is affordable along with a very nice location in Canada. It is a fair acceptance rate and good courses at its disposal.
