is it worth all the time/school?
I know PMs from respectable (Top 20) programs here also with a Masters and I make more than them with 3 yoe as a SWE. If it’s a Top 3 MBA it might be a different story due to the networking possibility. But if you don’t bring any existing network to the table yourself you might not be able to grow yours effectively.
God the more I read on here the more I don’t know why anyone would be anything other than SWE. For f*cks sake, they make all the $$
Possible lower ceiling as a SWE, and SWE pay will likely not be so high forever. Also SWE work just isn’t for most people. But MBA is also being commoditized.
MBAs are a dime a dozen. My PMM has a Stanford MBA. Yawn.
What’s his TC tho Also a PMM with a Stanford MBA is sad. So much potential wasted
PMM?
#1 - Mba is a waste of time and $ #2 - No one needs a PM
So then what? SWE? There’s gotta be more

PM at FANG is high paying
This seems to be the case at Amazon AFAIK.
Not worth it. PMs at FANG are not paid more due to the degree they have. The degree/network might help them get the interview however. Source: My 5.0 GPA EECS BS/MS MIT degree isn't making me anymore than other SWEs at FB. It wasn't like I was given extra sign-on at goog or FB.
Is PM or PMM high paying at FAANG? Where I come from, PMM knows nothing about technology and PM rules
PMs with MBAs from the best schools end up making a bit lower than a SWE at the same level. Because end of the day it is a non tech job, and PMs --many of whom became one because they were lacked the aptitude for tech-- don't really have a whole lot of quantifiable skills.
No. Full-stop.
