Hi there! I adore your blog. Quick question - you have an MBA from Stanford, and you're a software engineer rather than a 'manager'. Are there others like you? I was thinking of an MBA as an option, but was afraid my focus after that might not be technical enough.
"Quite a few people in business have paired a liberal arts undergrad degree with an MBA. They seem to do just fine. But I think that’s a missed opportunity—much better would be an MBA on top of an engineering or math undergraduate degree. People with that combination are invaluable, and there aren’t nearly enough of them running around."
I needed to read that today, (Purdue computer eng + Harvard MBA here)
