Hi there! I’m curious in seeking advice for what path I should take for my further studies. I have been working in brand management for two years (in Hong Kong and Singapore). Considering my 2 year work experience, I am not sure what path is most fitting for me if I want to switch to the finance industry in Hong Kong and develop my career there. Would I be able to be competitive and enter finance with an MBA with 2 years of experience or is an MSc Finance better in switching?

The key thing is to get into a good school. Other things being equal, you are more attractive to a good school's MiF than MBA, so then the MiF is better.

If you are admitted into all these programmes then you must be a strong candidate. The scholarships are a sign of confidence in their ability to place you. The risks are too small to consider because even if finance doesn't work out the MBA will still be a powerful asset in any other field.

You can answer these questions yourself. Look at the employment reports from these schools and speak to them about typical outcomes. You can also use LinkedIn to see where alumni end up, and see the FT ranking data to look at career progression. If you need more help you can look at my profile to see how to book a personal consultation, but I really think you can answer this yourself.
