Need suggestion for Graduate degree

[Mehra]

Hi!
I am currently pursuing engineering in applied physics. After by bachelors, I am looking to do a Graduate course like MBA or Masters. Due to little to no work experience (1 year+internship), getting into MBA is quite difficult (correct me, if I am wrong).
I am interested in Investment Banking or Analyst as career.

Can someone please advice, which Masters should I be opting for? Or do I have some other options?


Thanks

If you are interested in investment banking you might want to look at a Masters in Finance. If you have strong math skills and the right admissions package you might want to consider Princeton's MFin program as it is sort of MSF, sort of MFE.

I'll caution you though. Banking is very hard to break into and I would consider a variety of careers within the financial industry. Too many people fixate on investment banking because of the salary, but there are plenty of other ways to make good money without working 120 hours a week.

Yes, I have been reading about that too.
So, are you saying that I should do the Masters in Finance program and then look into the various careers?
Would you suggest looking towards Masters in Risk Management, Business Analytics?

Thanks
