MBA - what future do i have in sales/trading world?

Does it make sense to do a full-time MBA or part-time MBA if i want to stay in the sales/trading industry? Don’t see myself doing IB or consulting... can you guys shed any light on this? Is it worth it? Currently a 2nd year analyst working as a rates/fx analyst at a mid-low tier BB (think CS, Barclays, WF, UBS) but have 3 years of experience. Used to do FP&A role at a top-tier IB (GS, MS, JPM).

Don’t see a whole lot of internship opps for s&t as i do for IB. What are the pros/cons of each option?

Any insight on this would help a ton. I feel a little stuck and i feel like at least a MBA from a top 10 program could help.

Thanks!
