I honestly don't know which field of business is better suited for me and hence was looking at MiM (Essec / Escp / UK isn't taking students who are entering Mim with 3 years post grad, it is not cited anywhere but this is what facts are ) as it'll give me an exposure to various subjects and in the...

Subject says it all. I'm in a commercial acquisitions role and have a strong interest in quantitative methods. Is this a valid combination? An MBA is beyond me at the moment, and if I think about where the future of our industry could be I feel like this combination might be a viable option.

Hi guys, to those of you who have taken courses in quantitative finance, I have heard they are considered heavy math.
