      You can always learn those skills and grow organically from software engineer to product program manager or tech manager role . That gives you better tc than just studying in college . Yes if you get top tier college like Stanford Harvard that’s a different story then I would say definitely go for it as you will build not of network and contacts which will help you in future . But doing in tier 2 college won’t increase your tc. It’s better you prove you have those skills and move to those role in your current organization.

    Only with certain programs i.e. top tier. No one cares about mid tier.

      This. If you graduate from an elite program, it is a door opener as there is a lot of degree bigotry out there.

      This is a really important point. There’s huge bigotry in both financial and technical companies. They are not just fiction shown in tv shows and movies. They are real. They have their own groups and communities both inside and outside the companies. These clubs shoots you into a complete different category of management because of the connections. My manager/mentor has mba from Stanford and believe me he won’t hire anyone who is not from Stanford for management position. Usually as others said, Stanford, harvard, booth, wharton are national ones.. then there are zone based like east coast will prefer wharton, yale.. west coast will prefer stanford, berkely.. and tech-management based prefers sloan over any other some specific domains.

  • MBAs are a dine a dozen. Not worth the time or money. I spent $38K on mine. 🥲
