Master Finance vs Data Science

Hi,
I am very unsure about what to do for a Master and looking for some insights. Provided that I graduated in Econ at a target, I am now unsure if I should go for a MSc in Data Science or Finance at a target (HEC/Ox/LSE/Bocconi).
My doubt comes from prestige of program vs utility (Finance more prestige) like MFE vs Computational Finance at Oxford.

Long term I want to do Trading (or sales worst case).
