Hey,
Is a Mfin from MIT then a top MBA from H/S/W/C/C worth it? Let say you will be 27 when applying to an MBA, 2 Masters (one mfin), 2 years ib/consulting experiences (one pre MFIN one post MFIN)?
I GUESS you will be promoted to associated when you already have an mfin... but let say you got bored of s&t, want to do ibd/pe/hf... Then will the MBA bring extra value? Or should I skip the Mfin and work one more year and apply for MBA directly?
I'd say if you want to do an MBA anyways then I'd skip the MFIN... you're not as likely to get into a top MBA program with an Mfin and 2 years experience as you would be with 4-5 years experience.
Sounds like a ton of over-qualification to me. People don't typically get an MFin and MBA so close together, if at all.

Do you guys think the same can be said about MA in Econ + MBA? Or does that combo make more sense?
In that case, it seems more like someone studied a lot of what they wanted to, then realized they needed to rebrand themselves for finance and got the MBA. Not that it makes "more sense" per se, but at least it's understandable. Getting an MFin or MFE or MAcc with only one year experience, working another year, then getting an MBA just signals confusion.
I like your answer, makes sense. As I said I'm in at MIT MFin... I'm a minority... Not sure if that help to qualify for H/S/W... It's really a hard decision...
Thanks APAE
MSF + MBA is common. When you throw a third Masters in the mix things get curious.
I feel like I'm potentially going to get made fun of, and probably rightfully so, but I've thought about getting 3 master's. I already have one in econ, but that was more out of intellectual curiosity and figuring out what I want to do with my life. I've thought about CS + MBA (possibly accelerated) for a career in startups. Seriously though, I'm in my mid-20's and still don't even know what exactly I want to do with my life, and until I get that completely figured out, I refuse to get another degree.
From how I understand it, you can either use a MFin as a second shot at Ugrad recruiting, or as a MBA substitute.
In this case, as you would have work experience going into the MFin, you would basically be using it as a MBA. The only reason I could see for the MBA afterward would be to facilitate a career change.
However, I agree that if you did the MFin straight out of undergrad, then you might need a MBA, depending on the firm you are working for and your career goals.
Without previous, relevant experience, MFin places as an analyst.
I want a 3rd masters also, but I'm not allowed :(.
In what? And, why not allowed?
What do you mean you aren't allowed. Your shop?
ANT's 3rd Master's - Masters of Philosophy in Social Program Elimination from The WIlliam F Buckley School of Common Sense.
Nice touch HPM!
what if you have one or two year previous exp in the relevant field you are applying? Will you be placed as senior analyst or associate?
Don't forget Princeton and Stanford MFins/MFEs.
If you are a master in finance in Europe is it seen as enough as itself already to work in the US or would you need also a MBA on top of this later? Studying to become a master in finance already takes 4-5 years in Europe and then 2 more on top of that for MBA..
