Having been (or been close to) all of the above types, I'm pretty sure this isn't correct.
You actually want someone who has 1) an eye for the future 2) an understanding of risk 3) a clue as to how to run companies and 4) the ability to say no.

I'd be interested to know which probability is higher: the probability that one has those qualities given that one works closely with technology, or the probability that one has those qualities given that one has an MBA.
- pw0ncakes 17y agoInvestment banking, at least at the analyst level, is for mediocrities willing to do anything to make money. So you're not likely to find those traits in them. I'm not saying that MBAs don't add value. If technology people went into MBA programs, they would by virtue of exposure to other technical people if nothing else. However, so long as so many MBAs are people who were bankers out of college... most of their graduates are going to be mediocrities.
