Quantitative Finance vs Financial Econometrics

Hi Folks

I am a 23 years old economics graduate from India. Right now doing internship with the Central bank of India. Past internship in development economics in Germany. The reason I didn't pick up a full time job after graduation is I wanted to study for the Foreign Service Examination which did't work out. Hence now working on my career which I see in the finance industry.

I've been selected in the University of Amsterdam's Master of Financial Econometrics as well as Master of Quantitative Finance. Can you guys guide me which offer should I accept given that I see myself doing MBA post 2-4 years of work. I don't care much about the type of post MS opportunities these degrees will fetch me as long as they exist in finance sector and pay decent in Netherlands

Thanks in advance
