I’m an MBA finance grad. and am working in Investment banking operations since 2yrs, where I do not have my degree specific exposure in work.
I have in total 4yrs of work ex. in banking operations and not enjoying this career path due to the monotony.
I’ve done some research and want to take up MS in supply chain management in Germany.
I’m still not entirely sure considering the age and having no prior logistics experience.
Is this move advisable? Will I still be considered as an experienced professional after I complete MS in SCM?
Can an MBA finance go hand-in-hand with MSSCM?

Welcome to GMAT Club!
It’s a tricky question to answer. A degree can definitely help you transform yourself and put yourself on the new path but the question is always about other people seeing the transformation.
For example, does the program offer help with finding a placement or a job? If it does not, you will be recruiting on your own which you could’ve done without a degree. The only difference is that now you have a degree in supply chain management versus the rest of the experience. Is that big enough to score a job?
Another value could be from moving for example if you are living in Asia and going to school in Germany, the degree can give you a work permit. That’s helpful. At the same time if you live in Europe and the schools in Europe, there’s no point or value in the work permit.
I would also take a look at the average age of the applicants. Many European schools take people from undergrad and so many of your classmates will be 20 years old. Not that you look like a grandpa but it will have an impact on social setting and also hiring. You would be a 30-year-old intern or apprentice as they call it I think. Your boss may be 25 and I’m not sure how he or she will feel about Mentoring an older and more experienced candidate...
Personally, I would not undertake the degree unless it was providing you with at work permit and meaningful employment assistance. You can leverage your MBA along with a few quick supply chain management courses to claim you are a supply management professional...

Hi Rakeshparab, I'm assuming your are an Indian and have completed your MBA recently.
Could you please tell us more on why are you inclined towards SCM, what have you studied in Bachelors and tier of your MBA collage?
TBH, moving to SCM from IB Ops will not be easy, since these is no direct linkage. If you are really interested in SCM, you can try having some experience in SCM i.e. get a job in either an e-commerce or FMCG company. However quality of work will always be in question and may not be up to your satisfaction level as you will be joining as a newbie.
On contrary, if you are good/average in maths/stats, you can try MS in Business Analytics courses, your IB Ops experience will be a huge advantage and you can easily tieback your story in application with it.
