I did a quick LinkedIn search for PMs at Facebook. Only one PM out of the 7 I looked at had an MBA from a top 25, only 2 had MBAs at all, and both achieved those while already working as a PM in the FAANG realm. Managers and especially managers of managers+ are far more likely to have an MBA in my experience, but again that is heavily biased toward people who got that credential after or more likely while working in big tech. Now my sample is biased toward former SWEs and the Pacific Northwest, but I think an MBA is more a career accelerator along the people management track inside a company then necessary for product management or an enabler for people to enter the FAANG realm.
