Wow vins. You are in the same situation as I am except I dont have a MSEE. I do have an BS in Electrical Engineering and is very interested in getting a MBA. Ive only been working for about a 1.5 years at a good engineering company but I wont be applying to MBA school for at least another 2 years.

My hope is that after I receive my MBA, I would be looking for a career change into the finance world. I was looking at getting a CFA license and all that stuff eventually but Im curious if that is necessary if you decide to go into I-banking or only if you are just a regular financial analyst.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
