MBA or MFin for PE?

Hi all,

For many reasons I’ve decided I need an masters to transition out of my current role. I have 3 years of experience. Eventually, I would like to end up in PE.

However, I’ve heard that it’s hard to transition to PE post MBA, even if you do MBA> IB > PE. Is that true? Is it the same in UK/EU, where I am based?

Additionally, I wonder if doing an MFin makes more sense to make the IB> PE switch easier (as I would come in at a lower level). I don’t mind doing this, but do MFins discriminate against those with more than 2 years of experience ? 

Please help! Thanks.
