Usually direct entry to PE / Distressed debt etc. does not happen even after MBA from top tier schools unless you already have an I-Banking background and network your backside off. For a career switcher its near next to impossible. The best way is to get into I-Banking, doing your time and when the market picks up again, make the switch. However, you'll need the basic degree (MBA or MSc) as your launching pad into I-Banking. So make sure the course you are attending places enough people into I-Banking.

A graduate from MsF might be recruited as an analyst, the fundamental level in IB.
A graduate from MBA is eligible of being accepted as an associate, the supervisor of analyst.
Usually, an analyst will spend three years of time to obtain the opportunity to be promoted to be an associate.
Some analysts seek a MBA degree to accelerate the promotion progress of being an associate.
Just for your reference.
