Which of them is better aligned to your goals? If you are choosing between them, you perhaps need to think more about career strategy.

A friend moved here from Portugal in November. He arrived on Wednesday evening. He had a job offer by Friday. What sort of role do you want in banking, and in what sort of bank? A masters in fintech might be better for getting a job in a fintech provider, rather than in a bank.

Thanks for your answer.
I worked in M&A and in Structured finance. Now, I'd prefer some role in strategy or advise entrepreneurs in new activities and the possibility to bevano a Chartered Accountant (ICAS). Now I am a Dottore Commercialista (italiani CA).

So... Those probably are not jobs in banks. I think the MBA is a better option.
