Should I go for my second Master in Finance in a target school?

Hello guys, I finished my first MSc Finance two years program in 2024, now i registered in a language school to keep my student status, in this year I did two internships in IB (no returns, coz not a target school).  due to my school is not a target school, i have no big name company summer internships chance. even the MD in PWC M&A group said directly that my school is not a target, so the chance is very small to get a job there.

 Now i'm thinking to apply for a target school MiF for 2026 enrollment, they have two year and one year programs, if i go for the 1 year program. But when I finish I will be 29 years old. Does this worth of the time and money? I'm in Europe, people are saying age is not a problem, but I'm not sure for the IB market. and I dont consider MBA

Any one can help? Thanks.

Should I go for a second MiF?
