MBL from NLSIU worth it?

Hey everyone,
Looking for some perspective on whether adding a legal credential makes sense for my career trajectory.
My Profile:
UG: IIT (2021 grad)
PG: IIM A/B/C (2023 grad)
Certifications: Cleared all 3 levels of CFA
Current Role: Working in the CEO’s Office at a Fintech firm

A decent part of my current role involves vetting contracts, understanding regulatory frameworks, and dealing with compliance/structuring. Because of this, I’ve been considering enrolling in the Master in Business Law (MBL) program offered by NLSIU (Distance)

My thought process is that it could formally enhance my profile and give me a sharper edge when handling the legal/regulatory side of business operations.

Need some thoughts and opinions pls.

Wrong place wrong time wrong decisions

Am i the only one that feels like this?

Like every other science student, I gave JEE and joined an IIT (2021 grad). I had a deep passion for Physics, but just when I thought everything was set, Covid happened. I gave CAT as a backup option and fortunately got into one of IIM A/B/C (2023 grad). I also cleared all 3 levels of CFA.
Just when I thought everything was finally falling into place, the job market fell apart because of the massive over-hiring in 2022. I had to join a finance role at a below-average pay, which is when I realized finance is just not for me.
I pivoted to a Chief of Staff / CEO’s office role. But looking at the advent of AI and the general decline of MBA roles, I feel stuck. I'm in a role that basically just requires using fancy words and laughable “problem-solving.”
It feels like I got into engineering and an MBA at the absolute wrong times. I don’t even know where I see myself in the next 10 years because I genuinely don’t have any clarity right now
