I recently got excepted in NYU for both their MBA and MS in Quantitative Management (think business analytics). They're both from The Stern school of business so I'm wondering does it matter which one I got to in terms of advancing at a Big Four or financial institution?

MBA can probably get you more general Consulting exits whereas the Quant MS will give you better heavy technical IB/ Quant trading exits. But this is just a guess. I’m assuming Quant is harder than the MBA

My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.

Weighing up a top buy-side offer, but worried about perception on my overall tenure within roles.

May only be in this new ASC role for ~1y (personal circumstances). This would make 3 roles in ~3.5 years ( T2 consulting -> MBB -> buyside) out of undergrad. Long-term want to be entrepreneurial / do early-stage investing (Partner-track at a fund), have clear rationale for previous and future moves.

Is this an issue or am I overthinking? Thoughts?
