Currently a PM at Google - any value in pursuing M7 MBA? VC seems interesting but don’t know too much yet. Also seeing a lot of undergrad peers go to top MBAs so thought it’s something I should be thinking about as well, especially if the network is useful later on in my career?

Network would be the only value add here. What’s your undergrad network look like? If it’s strong the case is weak for an MBA. Only H/S would be worth it.

The world is moving fast and bschools aren’t adapting well to the AI world. Wouldn’t want to be out of the game for 2 years not keeping up with the latest advancements. If you want to stay in product then you’re definitely better off staying in your role. If you need a change then either transfer to a new team internally or find a high potential startup to join.

This. Only S would be worth it if trying to switch to VC. Outside of that very narrow scope there’s virtually no reason for OP to do an MBA
