I have completed my engineering in computer Science and have worked in a IT firm for about 2 years.
I would someday definitely want to end up in management field. But i feel i would need more experience for MBA.
I am thinking of doing my masters and then work for couple of years and then go for MBA once i feel i have had
enough of technical aspects.
I Dont hate the technical side,i just get this feeling someday i would not want to continue in technical and management
would be my choice.
What should i do ?
1. The plan above
2. Work for few more years without going for MS and go for MBA
3. 2-3 years of experience is sufficient and i should go for MBA
4. Any graduation/option which keeps both technical and management skills alive and help me choose one later. ?

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!
