Trading Equity Structured Products in local European Bank with very low wage... what should I do?

Hi guy,

I am thinking to take a MBA to switch from Investment Banking - Trading (Structured Products market making) to something else (HF, PE or even other industries...) because I do not see opportunities in Trading as many investment banks are closing desks and downsizing ops.

What do you think is the best option to do for me?
