Getting a masters in cs instead of an mba

Recently started an online masters program in computer science. Was debating whether to get my MBA, but thought process is I already work at a BB in cross asset trading, and the world is only getting more technology/programming focus.

Curious as to people thoughts on getting a masters instead of an mba, specifically in comp sci.
