Anyway professional qualification is better compared to masters if you want to do post graduate studies (in europe this is the main trend compared to Asia). It is best to seek out those that entitled you a title like England is "Chartered" while US is "Certitifed".
It depends whether you want to specialise more into your are of expertise or diversify into another branch of knowledge.
I don't know much about MFE but i know about the other 2.
MBA graduates hold the highest unemployment rate in MYS (more than hundred thousand are jobless). MBA is not meant for you to study & find a job. Its rather you find a job, the the boss may evaluate whether you are fit for managerial capacity & sent you accordingly. Or you wish to open up your own biz & wish to know the handling of biz more thoroughly. Deemed one of the least important professional qualifcation.
CFA on the contrary is highly rated as the exam is quite difficult & the lowest requirement is that only a degree holder can apply. Its a US course.
Common misconception is that due to financial crisis many are laid off especially in finance line. But that applied to disposable workers without any core skills or qualification. CFA holder are quite strong & quite recession proof. You can read it in internet or international papers about CFA credibility.
I have several relatives & friends who hold finance degree from Australia while some in singapore. It depends whether you want to remain in banking line as CFA can really help you. If you think finance should be more generalised why not coupled it with accounting ?
Other courses like CIMA, ACCA & CPA is quite recommended & also recession proof professions where job entrenchment is quite unheard of for those who hold these. My current classmate in professional qualification class holds a finance degree from australia & his reasoning of post graduate skills is to multi-skilled instead of specialisation.
It depends on what you want & plan to be in future. Anyway with degree alone you will find it quite hard to compete with those whom possessed professional qualification unless you really aced that interview or you knew somebody in the organisation
I'm doing electrical eng course currently. Been planning to study MBA after few years of experience working as engineer later on. Yea as u said, to go into managerial line It depends whether you want to specialise more into your are of expertise or diversify into another branch of knowledge.
