MS Finance Vs MBA Finance ?

Hi there ! Hope you all are having a good week. My name is Meghana from India but currently residing in San Diego since march this year on a dependent visa.
I am looking to apply for my masters degree, fall 2020. My passion is to be working in either the Advisory, Asset management or the capital market side of the finance industry. Could you please help weigh down my options between MS Finance Vs MBA Finance. Which is the ideal/right course for me at this juncture of my career? Should i also consider doing a CFA, irrespective of which course i take up?
A brief work history : I worked in Goldman Sachs as an Operation Analyst with an exceptional career in the Accounting department for 3 years (Jun '15 - Jun '18), Program coordinator at an NGO (July '18 - Nov '18). I am more than happy to send across my resume over Gmail ID for references.
I am yet to write my GRE and get my credits converted with the World Education Service Center.

Any kind of advise and guidance/ perspective would be really appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Best Regards - Meghana
