I am thinking of going into business and would like to get an MBA. I have 8 years of experience writing software professionally and a background in CS. My goal is to learn about business, running them, scaling them, raising money, etc.
Will getting an MBA help me achieve this goal?
Get an eMBA from a T25 and try to get your employer to pay for it. Otherwise, I would not leave a good SWE job for it. Something to be aware of: engineering managers often don’t get MBAs. That area of management prefers technical experience. So you likely won’t need one if that’s what you’re aiming for.
