MBA vs MFin (Quant)
I have a Bachelor and Master degree in Physics from a tier 1 target school in India with over 3 years of experience in sales and marketing, along with having cleared CFA Level 1. I’m currently exploring the best path to transition into Investment Banking in one of the major financial hubs like New York, London, or Hong Kong. I’m considering two options:
- Pursue an MBA from a top-tier business school, with the hope of securing an internship and eventual placement in IB.
- Pursue a Master’s in Finance or a Master’s in Quantitative Finance, as I have a strong background in mathematics and a desire to work in hedge funds after gaining 5 years of IB experience.
Given my experience and future career aspirations in hedge funds, which option would provide a more strategic path for me to break into IB and position myself well for a later switch to hedge funds? Would the MBA route offer broader opportunities, or would a specialized master’s degree be a better fit for my technical skills and long-term goals?
