I'm genuinely considering business school because I feel like the "jack of all trades" type and generally the type who encourages others to do their best work, builds bridges, helps facilitate collaboration etc.
I do wonder if the B-school route is just the cop-out for me because it plays to my existing strengths, and let's me boost the resume without being on the corporate treadmill for a few years.
Would love to hear from others who've got MBAs on here. The coding community is generally negative about MBAs, but does anyone on here have any advise?
Are technology-management-focused MBA programs ever any different?
Interesting, well I've been really kicking a at the role in a big tech company in silicon valley, but it's killing me to work in such a large company. What this may mean is that there is room for the role only in super large orgs that are splintering.. a pity b/c I personally can't stand working in them. Hmm anyway thanks!
If you've got the money and the time, I say do it. It'll help your people-skills - not because they teach you how to manage people, but because you'll be doing lots of group work with people from different age groups, social status', ethnic backgrounds, and professional backgrounds. It's a real challenge to work with so many different types of people.
Thanks, I would suggest that people skills are already my number one talent. But then that doesn't mean I shouldn't work on further optimizing those skills does it?
