I have been working as an engineer for 1.5 years. I have a BS mechanical engineering. As part of my engineering job I perform airline specific cost, profit analysis and I really like those type of things than my engineering tasks. I think that a career in finance would better suit me. Also afer talking to long time veterans at my company their suggestions were to leave engineering and either go get a MBA or MSF. These are the questions that I have ---
1) How do I get a job in Finance??
2) Is MSF worth it? I'm looking at Boston College, Bentley, Brandeis MSF programs and planning to find a job in Corporate Finance after graduation.
3) Are there jobs in finance?
4) Is there significant advantage of an MBA compared to MSF? I like how MSF is more of a quantitative track than MBA. Also cheaper.
My ideal finance career would be something on the side of corporate finance like financial forecasting, mergers and acquisitions and the like. I have basic programming knowledge. I have used mainly Matlab.
In summation, I need advice on the following:
Do I definitely need to get an MBA to be able to switch from engineering to finance or I can use MSF?
Are there jobs in Corporate Finance? I don't want to do IB, strictly in the Corporate Finance side.
I'm sorry if my post seems to be rambled and jumbled thoughts. I truly need some direction, and these decisions are not easy for me to make. I am trying to make the best decision and am hoping to get some good responses.
Thank you for your time.
