近1年都一心准备冲08fall的MFE. 考CFA,准备GRE.

昨天找老板(是前任，2个月前刚调到另外部门)写推荐信，被严重说教了半天...

说mindset 有问题，不要把自己locked住等等，总之强烈反对MFE,支持MBA.

之前有去比较这2个program.没想MBA是因为1. 才工作2年，并且在工程领域，拿不到MBA精髓. 2. 竞争力不够，拿不到好学校，就是浪费时间和钱.

本人申请MFE resume 如下:

到底该如何选择...是继续工作fight for MBA later 还是?

感觉MBA更有出息，呵呵

go forward to MFE...you have so good profile, why not try?

MBA is a little bit general for you, considering you did not clarify your

career path in your thread..

2 cents...

Thanks for your input.

Dedicated goal on career path: investment bank.

个人觉得既然打定主意要做finance了，读MFE更对口吧～风险小些，不用贷那么多款。

在新加坡似乎ＭＦＥ比ＭＢＡ更受投行欢迎，适合从ｅｎｇｉｎｅｅｒｉｎｇ转向ｆｉｎａｎｃｅ。

如果真想读ＭＢＡ，可以再工作一两年然后以ｃｈｉｃａｇｏ，ＬＢＳ为目标。

my own opinion．．．

如果读MFE，也是打算申请US的，但出来的工作性质范围太过窄，并且跟进投行还是有段不同路走。

放下钱的考虑，那是不是多做工读MBA对自己有更多回报，包括以后前途..

有道理
