You might be right about the startup world, but there is a massive demand for techie MBA/business-y Eng at the sub-VP level in big tech companies with tiered management. That sounds like exactly the skill set you would need to manage a division or org of one of the big 5.
- DelaneyM 10y agoDemand & applicability != opportunity. Maybe it's chicken & egg, maybe it's a Unix philosophy applied to organizational design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy#Do_One_Thing_and_Do_It_Well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy#Do_One_Thing_a...), but there is virtually no true demand for an engineering MBA. I'm happy to be proven wrong with a counter-example of a posted job description. Try to find one example of a hybrid position with more potential and better pay than a corresponding pure engineering role.
