MBA vs. MiF - looking for honest input
I'm 27, CFA Charterholder, ~4.5 years in finance. Studied in Germany, targeting Geneva/London/Dubai/Singapore long-term.
Original plan: MiF at St. Gallen → PM or IB role abroad. Two goals: break into a top finance role and relocate.
Shifted to MBA at INSEAD, LBS, or HEC Paris (Aug 2028), for three reasons:
- MiF feels redundant given I already hold the CFA
- By the time I enter the program I'll be ~28 with 5+ years of experience - overqualified for a MiF cohort, better fit for an MBA class
- MBA's global brand opens doors to IB recruiting and international relocation in a way a MiF simply doesn't
Question for the room: given this specific profile, would you do the MBA or the MiF - and why?
Happy to share more detail.
