MSF for consulting is the same like MAcc to get into finance. not needed and if you really can get into that field, you should be able to enter a MBA program that outputs consultants regularly.
I was thinking about doing MSF too, but this is the advice that I got: unless you really want to take a deep dive into financial theories don't do an MSF. MBA is a bit more versatile and more recognized degree even though MSF is gaining popularity. Based on recent GMAC employment survey though about 74% employers were planning on hiring an MBA compared to 48% for MSF. You do have the work experience for an MBA, but at the end of the day it's completely your decision.
I would never go for an MSF after 3 years of work experience. Go for a top 20 MBA and take a shot at post-MBA consulting from there. MSF will not position you well for either pre or post MBA consulting roles.
