MSF Admit from UB School of Management- New York

Hi,

I am looking for some guidance on whether to join a full time MSF or not. Below is my profile. Kindly take a look and please advise

-- Bachelors in Computer applications ( GPA -3.8)
-- 7 years of experience as a software tester testing the broker, wealth services and compliance platforms of an Investment Bank
-- 2 yrs of the above 7 were spent in Boston, MA
-- Developed an interest in Finance during my tenure as a software tester and want to move from technical to business side
-- H1B Visa holder. 3 yrs left on it
-- GRE - 305

I got an admit from UB yesterday and the fee for first yr is 34K with living expenses. I want to work in USA after my MSF and eyeing profiles like Investment Analyst/ Equity Analyst/ Capital Markets Analyst etc

Questions:
-- Job market: How is the job/ internship market for international student profiles like mine with a MSF ? Are internships easy to find for MSF or one has to struggle and may not get a good internship ?

-- How does the corporate world look at profiles like mine ( i.e. trying to change career lines)

-- Would part time MSF be a better option as I would be risking my saving with the full-time opportunity.

Please advise

Thanks
Mohit
