To study or not to study MS Finance?

Good afternoon,

I recently graduated from a target university in Spain and will be joining a Big 4 M&A group in September. Since my goal is to work in London, I was wondering if getting a MS in Finance next year would make any sense?

Bear in mind that I am currently 23, since I studied a double degree…

I have seen in LinkedIn that some people have successfully lateraled from Big 4 to BB or EB in Spain. So my doubt is if I should try to lateral or do the masters next year.

Thanks in advance!
