Generally I like the points, but note that not all MBAs (or even programs within a school) are created equal. A checkbox MBA is (can be) a different experience than the top programs. For the networking section, I wouldn't gloss over how much smoother it can be to ping in-network alumni with "hey, we both did this program, lets have a coffee Zoom" than by attempting the same thing via cold tweets or LinkedIn messages. I do also think that the quality of the network does depend on the institution and the program, and many non-tech places do put value on these things. Your random stat about billionaires makes me wonder if it is due to inheritance and/or limited to a country, or where you got it. I don't know where you sourced it from though. Maybe it is implied in your "check a box" category, but it strikes me that having your employer pay for your MBA seems much more likely in this case than having them do it for a career pivot which can change the math or the consideration.
