MBA for tech advice

by bfal215 » Sun May 22, 2016 12:44 pm
Hi there, I am pretty new to the forums as well as MBAs in general.

I graduated with my degree in Computer Engineering in 2015 and have been working the past year as a software engineer. I have realized that writing code and software development is not something I am passionate about, though I am quite good at it.

With that being said, I hope to stay in the tech space while being more hands off in terms of developing and would really like to be involved in the business side of a tech company, which is where I feel an MBA would definitely help with.

My main question is, what is the MBA scene like for tech companies? Is going to the top schools something sought after like the consulting firms do?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Basically if you want to stay in pure tech, then an MBA is not that helpful. But if you want to get into some sort of leadership/management/entrepreneurial position it can be very helpful.

I hope this helps!!
Best,
Jon
