Re: MBA vs. MS Finance Compendium [#permalink]

hi!
i am a fresher from chemical engineering and will be joining a chemical company. i am considering the option of doing ms in finance in the nxt yr (1 yr), get into a job thr (suppose us) and then after some work ex get into an mba programme. is this an option worth trying as i am not sure the work ex from the core chemical engineering is going to be counted as relevant work ex by top b schools abroad. is funding available for finance ms (in ms from engineering courses quite a number of my frnds hv received funding).

I think the biggest question is, what are the job employment prospects between both degrees?
Personally, I am more interested in corporate financial planning and analysis, which requires an accounting/finance background. I already have a CPA with an undergraduate degree in financial economics, but find it difficult to get entry level positions in any big companies. Going for a Masters in Finance will save time and costs compared to the MBA.
Please help!

An MSF is great for F500 work. Most companies will equate it to an MBA also so you basically kill two birds with one stone. Most of the main MSF programs have strong alumni bases and a lot of F500 recruiting. I absolutely think this would benefit you if this is what you are looking for.
