Hi, Perodies, The point is not about MBA or CS, but why finance after an engineering career? Is there something in common or transferable? Or other possibilities with higher relevance? These two paths do have something in common--logic, analyticals, quantitatives, economic trends and market expectations. However, it's a huge risk to transfer to this totally different field, especially through an expensive degree. Meanwhile, unless you can illustrate a concrete transition plan with proofs, or it's almost impossible to get in a decent MBA in finance, not to mention getting in PE or hedge funds. You need some commitment first. Obviously, you're not interested in engineering. However, why finance? It's impossible to come out from nowhere. There must be some signs in your life leading you toward a finance dream, or other possibilities. They're called "enjoyable skills". Find them, they should be in your daily life. Yet they might have other combinations, with different career possibiilties. The best way is to break down your daily life into pieces, and find out your "enjoyable skills" piece by piece, and then combine them with your unique personality into a new career path. I once helped a case who majored in language and worked in IT supply chain, to successfully transfered to a Luxury Management career. Graduated from HEC MBA in Luxury Management, taught by LV's ex-CEO, interned at HUGO BOSS Franch HQ, and later worked in LV Shanghai as a manager. The case succeeded because she passionately investigated all luxury products with 400-page clips, and knew everything about LV, Gucci, Prada, Jaeger-LeCoultre, TAG Heuer, Hermes, etc., including prices, limited editions, color and material differences, manufacturing countries, global branch locations, designers, trends, etc. Whenever you want to transfer to a new career, you need to find out your passion with feasible plans, and devote yourself to "earn" resources later. Try to find out the "enjoyable things" in your life, and observe all possibilities as a real career.
