申请MBA如果focus on investing risk是否对路

nightelf2022

在写career goal的时候为了和个人经历结合我准备写investing risk方向，但是risk涉及model的东西比较多，不知道会不会产生误解，认为MSF或者MFE更适合呢？请了解风控的大牛路过讲讲风控的career path一般是怎样的呢


background：
commerical bank 3 years working experience（credit card risk 2years，credit card marketing 1 year）
FRM chater holder
CFA level 3 candidate


career goal：
从经验看风险不是仅靠model就能manage好，在竞争环境下了解行业全貌做出正确决策才是正路。希望short term从事risk analyst，long term（5年）成为risk mgt expert。

我这个背景请问还有其他职业规划比较靠谱吗，比如consulting？

Hello my friend, happy to offer up some advice for you here.  

Generally, since you already have work experience, we recommend

that you apply for an MBA and not a Masters in Finance.  MBA’s are

much more dynamic, more flexible, and you can use them to do much

more when you graduate.  Masters in Finance are best for people

with NO work experience, who are looking to take some time before

entering the work force.  Your best bet is to say that you wanna go

into investment banking, since you already have the commercial

banking background.  Don’t worry about consulting, it is just a

distraction.  So apply for an MBA, and rely on your STRENGTHS!  

That would be our direction for sure.

Risk management is very important in buy side. You can just say you want to focus on investment mangement. Plus, risk management is quite vast too. It can be credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, enterprise risk etc. Typically, market risk is most suitiable for investment management. But credit risk is not bad at all.
