My Profile:
Target GMAT Score: 740
Age and Gender: 25 years, Female
Education:- MBA- Marketing specialization from a Tier-II institute in India( 3.7 GPA). Did my Bachelors in Economics from Fergusson College, University of Pune( 73% score- Distinction)
Work Experience: Worked for 2 years, 10 months with a reputed Indian Bank. My profile was that of a Relationship Officer. My job involved sourcing and handling High Net Worth Individuals and Business accounts. A large part of my job was also Financial Planning for the bank customers.
Reason for another degree: Through my job I was exposed to the world of Banking and Finance. I developed an interest in this field and developed my knowledge through various certifications, reading finance related journals, newspapers etc. I feel the need to get a formal degree in Finance so as to further my career. Also, I believe that since I did my MBA right after my Bachelors, I did not have enough real world exposure prior to completing the degree
My dilemma is whether I should go for an MBA or MS in Finance (Comprehensive Finance. Not purely mathematical or Quantitative Finance). I already have an MBA and am aware that getting admitted for a second MBA can pose a bit of a challenge.
My questions are as follows-
1) MS Finance will cover Finance in greater depth than an MBA. However, I spoke to a few people and am getting mixed opinions about the job opportunities and career growth after an MSF. Does the growth of an MS Finance graduate get capped because he/she does not hold an MBA degree?
2) If I go for an MSF, how much weightage will companies in the US give to an MBA degree from India? Will an MBA and then an MSF be a good combination?
3) Are there any Finance profiles that are offered only to MBAs and not to MSF graduates?
