Masters in Finance?

1 year post grad from non target school, working in what feels like a segregated industry doing real estate tax work for REITs and other institutional investors (no I am not an accountant). It feels like the clock is ticking to get into a more sought after position in high finance. Is a masters in finance something to consider? Has anyone done an MSF that can speak to its ability to place you in new industries?
