Anyone here make the jump to an MBA from a big tech background. Currently a PM at FAANG and trying to see if an MBA would make sense for me since I’m already in big tech and have no interest in ib or consulting. Would love to chat

Hello everyone!
I’m seeking advise from fishers. My brother in law is going to university next year. He was engineering (which is one of the worse decisions someone can do from my experience LOOL). I told him if anything he should do managment engineering which he got accepted to. He also got accepted to Mcmaster- information management systems. Which in my opinion you get a bit of everything! And this degree is picking up a lot of traction’s across tech. More thoughts in the comments
