MBA programs just cargo cult whatever is appears to be working. They're like trend followers who just amplify whatever is already happening not trend setters.

- cebert 4y agoThere’s a lot of negativity here about MBAs. Perhaps some of this is merited, but I think MBA programs can be beneficial and aren’t as “cargo cult” as some commenters have suggested. I am a principal software engineer working on cloud projects, but decided to get a MBA in 2017. I learned a lot of valuable skills such as accounting, finance, negotiations, and HR that I had little to no exposure to in my undergraduate Computer Science program. Knowing how to read SEC filings and how to sell projects and ideas to executives has only helped me in my career. The MBA program I was in helped me get exposure to many business fundamentals. There’s a lot of negativity, but if you look at many MBA programs, most of them focus on the fundamentals.
