Hi there,

Definitely can understand where you are coming from; it can be challenging to balance technical with managerial skills and to determine what mix you would most enjoy, and what path to aim for in terms of degrees and jobs.

I would try to identify a few possible career paths or even specific jobs you feel you might be interested in, and then research what degree/s and experiences might best help you get there. (Instead of, choosing degree/s first and hoping you'll end up somewhere you want to be. If possible. )

I'm not clear based on what you described, of the main benefit of the Masters degree, and more so if def going to the MBA. So I would encourage you to think through that option carefully. In terms of MBA now vs in a few years, most likely I would lean towards getting some more experience under your belt which would help you contribute more to the b-school classroom and may also help you further identify what you'd like your next career steps to be.

Good luck to you and keep us posted!
