RSM, MSc in Business Analytics & Management for IBD

Hi friends, I have a short question,

Do you think that a MSc in Business Analytics & Management at RSM can be helpful for a career in IBD? Is a master program in business analytics a good choice? Should I take instead a Msc in Finance & Investments offered by the same university (RSM)? I don't know which program out of these two is better for IB.

Current MSc Finance student here (not RSM, other target in continental Europe).

I'd recommend going for a Masters in Finance if you want to do IB. Other programs obviously can also work, but doing a Masters in Finance will just have a different signalling (regarding your interest in finance in general). Also, your peers will likely also be more interested in IB than in another masters program, which will be helpful.
