Best 1-yr degrees to break into IB with M&A background and an MBA

Hi everybody,

from colleagues you have met and from your experience in the market, what is the best 1-yr degree to break into IB for somebody having over 5 years of M&A experience (closed over 13 transactions in mid-market) and an existing MBA from a European school. 

The degree would be to make use of the school's network and to be able to live and work in the US post the degree.

I was considering a STEM-degree or even a 1-yr Law degree in Finance. 

Thoughts?
 

Thanks!

 

But if you have MBA you can't get another one in the US. Mfin will only give you analyst roles. What is "1-yr Law degree in Finance"? Is it like LLM? I am afraid that's a useless degree in finance. 

So agree with above your best bet is to go through experienced hire recruiting, not through campus recruiting.
