LBS MiM vs MSF and apply for MBA later?

Would it be more beneficial for me to wait to pursue a less specialized degree like the MiM until I have experience and then work towards an MBA or similar degree? Does the additional cost of the MiM correspond with a larger gain in value than an MSF? Would the MiM appear to be too general to future employers? Thanks for the advice!

I'm not sure if I get what you're saying since your post is a bit chaotic. First of all LBS MiM is a pre-experience degree and you are eligible only if you have 1yr of work experience. I know current and previous student of this programme and they are generally satisfied, it is not too general,you can get into PE (even BX), IBD and MBB if you work hard. LBS has a powerful brand (at least in Europe). What MSF are you comparing it to?

 

LBS MiM has pretty decent recruitment scene. I know a guy who broke into PE directly with less than 1 yr non-relevant experience prior to joining the course.

If you have the money then sure...collect as many degrees as your heart desires.
