MBA is for later consideration. So far that in planing already. Well a few of my senior i consulted, it best to do master b4 u start work. Once start work you will too busy and the mode to study no longer there
By research, you can propose your own topic and propose your own supervisor subject to his/her agreement. Some lecturers already have their own topics which you may be interested too. I assume you will meet up with him/her to discuss and draft the proposal before submitting the application to IPS. Usually no issue unless that topic is really not suitable and/or the proposed supervisor is not eligible to supervise postgraduate (due to expertise, qualification, quota, etc).
RO-ship is a actually post, and your will be doing master by research too.
Many people like to point out that working life is busy thus unable to do masters. My opinion is that, you are busy because you are doing masters. Working life is just working hours and after that you can go home, chillax. But doing masters, you are actually thinking and researching all the time, even after office hours.
