"Getting an MBA does not make you not-an-engineer."
My view having known quite a few engineers who got MBAs (outside of the software world) is that it very much marked a point where people had decided they wanted to stop being a practising engineer and wanted to be someone who managed practising engineers (directly or indirectly).
- marcus_holmes 6y agoMy view as a developer with an MBA is that I got it because the hardest problems I was facing were people/political/business problems rather than tech problems. I was already managing a team before I got it. After I got it I've had a mix of roles as both engineer and manager. I didn't intend to switch track, it's more about being better at both tracks.
