Is a Master of Finance (MFin) worth it?Or is it better to work for a couple years and get a MBA?

It depends on the timing and career goals.

• Go for MFin if the aim is to enter finance right after college. Programs like HEC, LBS, and Bocconi accept students with no experience and lead to analyst or associate roles in investment banking, corporate finance, or asset management. Salaries start around €60K–€70K in Europe and $100K+ in the US.
• Choose an MBA later if the plan is to work 3–5 years first and then move into leadership, consulting, or switch industries. MBA programs like INSEAD or Wharton give broader exposure but require full-time experience.
• MFin is more technical and role-specific, while an MBA is more about leadership and long-term mobility.

If someone is clear about staying in finance and wants an early career boost, MFin makes more sense. For switching paths or aiming for senior roles, an MBA works better long term.
