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: Career change. 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. I have recently shifted to USA and would like to study here.
My dilemma is whether I should go for an MBA or MS in Finance (Comprehensive Finance. Not Mathematical/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) Will my MBA from India followed by an MS Finance degree from a US institution hold enough weight in the job market here? Or should I go for a second MBA with a concentration in Finance?
