Leave job to get a msc and finish my ACCA

Hey guys I’m kinda stuck and not to sure which is the best route would need some advice.

I’m currently doing my ACCA and only completed one exam. I’m also currently working in an entry level role. I have 2 option

Option 1 carry on work and study and at the rate I’m going I will pass 9 exams in 3 years.

Option 2 do a master degree and get exemptions in the 9 exams. Which means I done 9 exams in a year then look for a senior role in the field.

I’m stuck is it work leaving a job and getting all the exams done in a year or would it be best working and slowly getting the exams done.

Would appreciate some advice.

Thanks

Which masters degree? I don't think there are any one year courses which give 8 or 9 exemptions any more?

"Option 1 carry on work and study and at the rate I’m going I will pass 9 exams in 3 years."

Why will it take you so long? Can't you crack on with the earlier papers?

"Which means I done 9 exams in a year then look for a senior role in the field."

How much experience do you have? It would be hard to get a senior role with 9 exams and limited experience. Plus - university exemptions tend to be a little less respected than real passes.
