It's so damn hard to look at someone's resume, see an MBA on there, and have me consider them for hiring. How can I even tell if they went to a school like yours versus something like what OP mentioned? I kind of just see that on a resume instead of a bunch of actual experience managing tech teams and immediately mark it for less consideration.
I can definitely see where the kind of education you got would be an asset, it's just like how can I tell when the whole field is so incredibly polluted with people I want nothing to do with?
I have one friend who I've learned a ton about business from who got his MBA and it kind of sounded like he didn't receive the kind of bad ideas you get from the infamous reputation of MBAs. He runs his own businesses and does incredibly well for himself, though, and isn't trying to manage some highly technical team with that degree (Seems like the wrong thing entirely for that position), which is funny because I don't remember him technically even passing high school back in the day.
- ericmay 4y agoI’m biased but look for less known programs from reputable universities or part-time working programs. You’ll typically get down to earth, nice people in my experience. I went for an MBA because I wanted to continue university education and it worked out well for me. I would have loved to have done in-person night courses for a different degree program too but nobody offers those for stats or engineering courses, unfortunately.
