Imperial Masters after 2 years of work experience

Hi all,

I got into Imperial's Masters in Climate Change, Management and Finance. My undergraduate is in business so I wanted a more specialised degree + the program is extremely cheap compared to most other finance programs. I have 2 years of work experience (Small valuation shop). My goal is corporate banking or corporate finance. I might recruit for investment banking but I have way too many hobbies so I probably won't.

My question is if I should recruit for graduate type of roles or more experienced hires type of roles. Also, given that I have experience, does the major of my masters really matter? I am really just going for the brand here.

Appreciate any insight.
