Hi Everyone,
I have bit of a dilemma and I was wondering if I can get input from some of you. I was really focused on applying to a Parttime MBA for Fall 2009, however now I have started to think about other options. I read the post on MSF Vs MBA but would like to get some more opinions...
So, right now I'm a CPA and I work in corporate accounting. I would really like to move into FP&A as that is my long term goal. If I were to get an MBA my concentration would be Finance as well. I want to make the move to FP&A before I start an MBA program though. Here is the delimma...right now I don't feel completely ready for the MBA program so I would like to wait for few years (2 or 3) before I apply. In the mean time I would like to move into an FP&A role, I'm not sure if completing an MSF program part time would be valuable or if it would be waste of time. Should I just try to find a position in FP&A and then apply to MBA in few years. Or enroll in a MSF program/get a position in FP&A and still get an MBA few years later....I would not like to be school for the next five years either =( so the second option i'm bit reluctant about if it's not going to add much value!
Please let me know your thoughts! I really appreciate it!
