问金融硕士和MBA之间的权衡

dl0222

果然是运用分析能力这项可转换技能，转得相当漂亮
若是善于人员沟通与合作
不倾向研究路线
的确是走MBA会较符合兴趣
然而要思索到底金融的什么元素让lz感兴趣
再看这些兴趣会带你往哪儿走

呵，哪里是转得漂亮，每次都不得已为之。只是因为已经往这个方向走了一段，就不打算再停下来或者回头。至于到底金融什么元素让我感兴趣就比较难讲，个人感觉可能是投资，或风险管理方面，但风管牵涉到很多量化的东西，不确定MBA是否能覆盖到。对金融的了解尚不充分，还希望能请教你。

快别这么说，朋友
MBA是高度量化的
投资牵扯到的分析与套利，容易让人有挑战感
风险管理只要是稍微好一点的MBA都有深度研究
需要的是对总体经济的掌控、竞争情势与市场取得，与突发事件的全面考量分析
投资与风险管理的共通点，是对环境的理解掌控与量化分析
很可能lz对这两个技能感兴趣

而MBA特有的是跨部门管理与领导变革
重视的是软式待人技能与团队合作
应该比较符合lz人际沟通与合作的兴趣

是不是楼主应该先考虑gmat成绩再说呢？
当然，相信楼主是有能力取得好成绩的，那就要看你追求的是什么了？其实同样的问题也困扰着我
mba是职业教育，而不能完全称为学术教育。 那这样的话就是为什么很多人会选择mba，因为有更好的career service, network,有更贴近职场的课程设置。 可是如果按照楼主这样做银行做风险出身（这个是我猜的哈，一般商业银行真正的quant也就集中在这了吧。。。），以后要走quant的道路，那mfe也未尝不是一种好的选择，毕竟这方面中国人还是有优势的，工作上总比跟顶着hsw光环的美式精英们pk 沟通能力，leadership来的机会多吧（这个仅个人看法哈）。 总之，祝楼主好运哈，找到真正属于自己的未来。

呵，读了两遍才有点理解。如果MBA是高度量化且本身融合了风险管理，对我无疑是最好的，因为这样至少跟自己过去的经历沾边。我对MBA理解跟你讲的比较一致：它是一种更偏向于宏观，综合和整体的培养，当然不排除将量化技能作为相对基础的部分学习；需要与更广泛的人群接触，进行更有效的沟通，更多时候是对局势的判断和决策。从这方面讲，相比MFE MBA就更符合我个人兴趣。

谢谢你的回答，接着我可能就得仔细掂量下自己这半斤八两肉，看看具体可行性有多大，都能讨上谁的宠 : )

呵，确实，正在GMAT苦海挣扎ing。
其实我并不是多喜欢，或者多向往成为一名quant，只是就自己以前有限的工作经历讲，这是稍稍沾边的。同时考虑是工科出生，IT背景，MFE客观上似乎更有可能申请成功。然而，论个人兴趣 MBA就更靠前了。但我非常理解你提到在工作上优劣势的问题，那确实是可能的情况。所以权衡的困难就显现在这里。不过，万事皆等俺考过了GMAT再说...
The same to you, wish u a brighter outlook.

mfe明显难申请，mba容易申请，但是在金融行业就业就不知道了

Hi Frank, thanks for ur typing up there.
Well, I sure would not shift major decisions simply based on others' words alone. Nonetheless, my friend did point out an alternative to achieve a desired career switch.

Back to the basic question, what do I want or love? Definitely not a life replete with endless research papers or mathematical formulars. I quite enjoy the process of coordinating and cooperating among people, based on which I guess the answer would be MBA then for a career rather than MSF/MFE.

Accordingly, next, I probably would look at MBA programs offered by different universities to see if I can and like to fit anyone of them.

Thanks!

Okay dude. Now that you have your thoughts clear and your path set ahead for you, all you need to do is GO. I agree with what you wrote that in your case an MBA might be the more appropriate degree. So it looks like your friend was right after all.

: ), Yeah, Frank, thx a lot for your advice. But now I'm quite taken aback by the financial requrements( around 100m RMB)  needed to complete such a program. No wonder several people I heard about with rather attractive professional backgrounds compromised themselves by shifting goal to applying for master programs which, in a way they put it, were integrated certain technical area with MBA essentials, while the cost was considerably lower ( about 400,000 RMB).
I'm working at present to familiarize myself on the one hand with financial aid procedures provided by desired schools to see if any chance to get significant assistance there, on the other I'm preparing for any alternatives as well, reluctantly.

金融硕士出来很有可能从analyst或者senior analyst开始，MBA基本都是associate开始。楼主可以根据自己的career考虑
