Companies want MBA's who can code
- bsg75 12y ago"Coding is hard. HBS students who took the university’s introductory computer science course said that they spent 16.3 hours a week on the course, which is “2-3 [times] more time than they would spend on an MBA elective that yielded equivalent academic credit,” wrote Eisenmann in a Harvard Business Review blog post last fall." This speaks volumes to the quality of the education an MBA provides. I wonder what the ratio of MBA candidates who want to put in that level of effort are to those who would choose "easier" paths?
- jflowers45 12y agoI often wonder how many CS undergrads go onto getting an MBA - would be an interesting statistic that I imagine must be available somewhere.
