Only get an MBA as a SWE once you’re an Eng Manager/director and you want to move into a VP+ role. Even then it’s absolutely not needed.

Yea I don’t have plans for an MBA it’s a waste of time. Plus I’m pretty sure we are making more money than post-mba’s are getting. Only get it if you’re pivoting

Increase with an MBA is negligible for an SWE. Totally not worth the time or the money spent getting it.

Why do you want to get a mba as a SWE?

If you are optimizing for comp, you may want to think about not abandoning a paycheck for two years.
