Been looking into HKUST as a solid alternative for me, given my background, my dream of studying in HK and the program's high employment rates in the Financial Services industry, which is 40% and really stands out. When taking part in a program with such a clear path forth, does it totally restrict you in the future if you decide to slightly diverge? This is an area I'd like to pursue but I worry that the focus might be too strong. How much wiggle room is there for slight career changes? Is this generally not recommended? Cheers!

The MBA with a career track in finance is still an MBA.

You'd have much less wiggle room if you pursued a Master in Finance. An MBA is a general program so you tend to have a lot of flexibility.
