Agree with @j0etheundergrad No, you don’t need it. Get your CFA and get experience. After you have your CFA and a bunch of experience, you will know what we are talking about. If later on, Blackrock will pay for you to get your MBA, and you have lots of extra time (not- because you’ll be busy working and having a life) then you can get your Masters. P.S. no one cares where your MBA is from, so don’t worry about this “top school for an MBA” nonsense. What is your undergrad degree in?

This is coming from someone in the exactly this line of work who actually ** does ** have a Masters in Finance, paid for by her firm. Its pretty useless in practice and looks interesting for about 2 seconds on my resume. The CFA trumps all in Asset Management.
