i would've never gotten into tech if i didn't get my mba nobody in my family, personal, or professional network knew anyone in SV, Tech, SF, etc and w/o the forced serendipity of taking classes w genuinely intelligent, interesting, and kind dev's + operators I'd likely be managing a factory in the midwest somewhere rn

Do one on a college degree I think itโ€™s counterproductive. Especially if you wanna work in crypto. Just start building

This podcast has a great interview with a founder who sold her company and then went and got an MBA. Really interesting. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/279-staying-indie-vs-raising-vc-getting-an-mba/id1206165808?i=1000612718746

I really like her breakdown of insiders vs outsiders and learning the culture and language of business. Thatโ€™s a neat take.

Or get a job in a lean startup where the leads have MBAs and learn while working ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ Of course, not that easy to do either.

If you want to be a good employee, get an MBA. If you want to be an entrepreneur, fail quickly and learn from people who didnโ€™t get MBAs.

Made sense for me. Was my third career change. Got required credentials/licensure to be an educator in my state. My program included a teaching residency that provided invaluable practical knowledge of classroom management.

I would add "Live/work in country X" as part of the "Career Shift" reason in your article. I got an MBA at a West Coast school because I had always wanted to live and work in the Bay Area. Getting an MBA was the most effective ways to achieve this.

While I was scaling a dept, I earned my masters simultaneously. Opportunity cost was my free time. I got my M.S. in Global Ops Mgmt with an emphasis in Tech Systems. Kinda like a tech-focused MBA. It was grueling to do both at once but I'm glad I did it. https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/est/masters/programs/msgtm

I skipped MBA and went straight for a DBA. Itโ€™s challenging though, some of the basics from an MBA would help, but nothing you cannot do and learn without one. For your consideration @dwr.eth

Deciding whether to pursue an MBA is indeed a significant choice and highly dependent on individual goals and circumstances. An MBA can be incredibly valuable for those looking to transition into tech or business, particularly if it offers networking opportunities in hubs like the Bay Area. It's crucial to weigh the good and bad reasons, considering both personal aspirations and industry trends. Ultimately, it's about finding the right fit for your career ambitions. ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’ผ
