I think that when you hit Principal level it’s tough to get promoted unless you’re a manager. It’s very difficult to show the appropriate scope and impact as an IC that is needed to jump to the next level. There are very few Partner SWEs that I know of and all of them have gone through a managerial role at some point.
Tough to say about a startup. None of the famous startup founders had an MBA. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Sergey Brin founded startups without an MBA. However, at some point they all had to either hire people with business backgrounds or get replaced by one.
Sorry I meant Director -> VP -> CxO. You are right, director level and probably VP level, I have not seen MBA holders. However, CxO level, many of them have.

You mean Partner SWE who tried managerial role during their career before coming back to tech ladder?
