  • My recommendation for career move will be a CFA. Your analytical and accounting skills with MBA is good enough to idendity and understand the business analytics. Moving to financial sector you need professional development courses and CFA will help you to understand more details about a business strategy and how and when investments should be injected in business for successful target acheivement. It is essential to learn about commerical strategy for better investment results, therefore, CFA can help you lot in your new career.

  • Doing an MSc means a loss of one years worth of experience; given you already have an MBA its probably not worth it. You should start a CFA, and try moving to Saudi Arabia/Dubai. Kuwait is a dead-end place for the types of jobs you desire.

  • Since you already have an MBA and a strong quantitative background, I'd say the CFA is better. Especially if you're looking at corporate finance, I think the MBA is a sufficient (if not optimal) educational credential. The CFA definitely opens doors, and I've heard that many employers in all areas of finance look very favourably on applicants with it.
