Hello everyone!
I'm an electrical engineer with 4 years of experience.
If i wanted to complete my masters and perhaps phD aswell, i have 2 options. The first would be to complete MSc in the same field, which is electrical engineering and then do the phD, the second option would be to go for a career change and perhaps new "better" opportunities with the MBA or MPM then complete phD. Am i correct?
Possible Options?

This depends on your goals, and what you want to research for your PhD. If you don't care what you research in your PhD, then you should not do a PhD.

An MBA isn't a common route into a PhD - it's more of a professionally-oriented degree that aids in career support to find management-level jobs after graduation. Not to say that MBA --> PhD doesn't happen, but it's rather rare.
More common would be a research-oriented MSc where you would start work on some specialized topic and leverage this research into a PhD.
