Hello all,
I've been looking to get in to investment banking for a while. My background: did audit at one of the big 4, got CPA, now at the Corporate Restructuring / corporate finance group of the same firm. I wonder if MBA or Master of Finance would help me break into investment banking?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Get an MBA, however, apply to both. If you get into MIT Master's but no top 10 MBA choose MIT. Apply to everything and make decisions later.
Did you mean MIT's MFin? I actually went to MIT's info session a while ago.. the MFin program is 1 year, seems worth checking out.
CFA
Passed CFA Level 2. So far hasn't got me anywhere, yet.
I'd take the MBA route.
If you don't have a typical engineer's math background, the quant stuff in an MFin program is going to be much tougher and there's just a lot less synergies.
MBA, you'll get a full re-branding.
MBA at a top 7 school will do it
MBA without a doubt. Time to rebrand.
Uh... if you are at the corp fin group of an accounting firm, you are an investment banker .
Lol! Technically.. but not really
