MS Accounting w/ MBA in perspective

Hello Monkeys,

First of all Merry Christmas! Writing my first post here seeking some advice... if anyone has it.

I'm graduating with a 3.8+ in May as an Ops Management Major from non-target state school. Luckily I'll be back with the F50 company I interned last summer to kickstart my career (Supply Chain). As I put things into perspective I've always had an interest in Finance/Accounting but ended up sticking to my major. I definitely want to go to a top 20 MBA in the future but I'm considering a MS in Accounting from my state school since it is cheap, allows me to pursue my other academic interests and gives me a better shot at a Big 4. Ultimate goal would probably be consulting or corporate finance.

So my question to you guys is (as this is only a hypothetical scenario) what does an MS in Accounting do for me and how does it relate to an MBA later? Better or worse chances? Is it even a good idea or should I stick with F50 jobs for some years move up and eventually go for an MBA?

 

I am in a somewhat similar situation to the OP was well and very interested if anyone could shed some light on this topic. I have tried to do a bit of research on the topic, however, most of the answers are conflicting with some saying having one masters degree for a business related field already will hinder your ability to get into a good MBA program while others say it does not matter.
