MSC. In finance vs FMVA certification

I will appear for CFA L3 2020, I have a choice between masters in finance or fmva. Which one would you suggest and why? I've heard that masters can give you the practical experience required to get a job in the field having done some research on FMVA and figured it would help me build financial models.
