Why not MBA? Prefer the finance coursework?

like

I got a MSF last year, and we had one person land at Bain and one at McKinsey (out of a class of 50). It's tough but possible.

like

About a third of the class got IB jobs. The rest are made up of equity research, consulting, valuation, corporate finance, rotational programs, trading, etc. Recruiting out of MSFs is mostly for entry level positions, so seeing as you're a manager I think going the MBA route may make more sense for you.

like

Won't work for Bain.

D1 where did most of the class go?

A1 I am trying to decide between the two, MSF has a lower time commitment

I’m currently a tax accountant with 5 YOE. I want to move into a business analyst role I’ve applied for entry level positions (competition is wild) and willing to get certs. I have great hard and soft skills that should transfer pretty well. Any advice on getting the ball rolling? Should I get a mentor? I’ve seen a lot of layoffs too which kind of makes me wonder if it’s worth it.

My background is in tech transactional. I joined a cybersecurity SaaS startup at the end of last year and now also handle more generalist matters in addition to all things commercial-related. I have a number of books on contracts that I’ve found super helpful over the years (The Tech Contracts Handbook, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Sign Here, etc.). Can anyone recommend books they’ve found helpful for L&E matters, privacy matters, product matters, or marketing/advertising matters?

Im currently studying Industrial Engineering with a minor in management.

Im thinking that if I end up at consulting especially no one will care about a management minor they’ll just look at the firm I worked for.
