It could be just me: But I see MBA as a means of acquiring networking with go-to folks if that part of your professional career didn't pan out with a Bachelor's (+Masters optionally). With social media, Y-combinator, startup culture - MBAs are going out of fad for tech ecosystem. They exist - but not exactly the superstars they used to be a decade back. Tech companies identify tech superstars in the present trend. People who build their things are directly managing businesses. Many tech CEOs now are PhDs instead of Management crop. Watch out for these signs. People who build their products and services usually invest building their karma around it. That commitment is rare to see from someone who is trained to manage others invrsting their souls into their love. Plus, management degrees cost a pretty penny. MBA teaches you a lot of soft skills: I feel the important part being how to do better cost performance, choose the right communication, manage your employees & so on. That you already probably did to an extent as EM.
