It’s not a must. I’ve seen several people making the switch without an MBA. But that is generally within the same organization.
But getting an MBA will definitely make your life easier if you really want to switch to PM if you’re not from a tier-1 or 2 engineering college.

Depends ...usually startup and small size Companies do not necessarily demand MBA and are okay with domain knowledge and experience in working across multiple stakeholder and functional teams.

How would you rate your ratios for work, play, and rest?

My life's mostly been 85% work/serious stuff (includes academia), 10% rest, and 5% play.

I've only started to learn to rest more this year and learning to accept lower productivity (was part of the hustle culture).

Q: How do I learn the concept of play? Didn't have that in my childhood growing up. All serious, no fun. Has anyone transitioned successfully?

I feel like a boring, old lady 😔😒

What is your definition of play?
