MSc in Finance or MSc in Data Science to land a job in IB

Hi there, I really do want to land a job in Investment Banking and I'm willing to do what it takes to get it. I'm finishing a BSc in Aerospace Engineering and I'm now applying for a MSc in Finance. Would it be a better idea applying for a MSc in Data Science??? I really appreciate any answer or explanation. Thanks
