  • Unless you go to top 10 it’s a waste of your time and money! IMO. I’m MBA grad myself (not top 10).

    MBAs are a waste of time for most folks. Enrollment has fallen off a cliff.

    • Change from tech role to management chain

      I am top 10% high performance slave but not able to move to management chain

    • IMO MBAS allows for such transition for people with less experience. If after 10 YOE you were not given a chance to lead, I'm afraid an MBA isn't going to do it.

      Look for an internal LDP. Get paid and move closer to your goal.

    Got an MBA from Virginia tech. Knowledge I'd say mostly useless. Finance classes got me to fire my financial planner and just use index funds. So this more than paid for itself.

    The techies in the program knew it was mostly bullshit. Business majors were idiots who did not understand the difference between required to graduate and useful. They put the MBA at the top of resume too.

    Very easy compared to a tech degree. I have a master's in software engineer that though not that hard (since I was already working when I started) was more work than MBA . The finance classes are business level technical. Meaning it's hard for business people.

    I went at night and was not a big deal. Firing my financial planner made the degree worth it. He was ripping me off. Major wall street asshole.

    Read the book random walk down wallstreet. Then just use index funds at vanguard, fidelity, t rowe price.

    Go for lowest fees. Buy and hold. Reinvest dividends. Invest same each month.

    I'm terrible at typing on phone. So lots of bad grammar
