Elon Musk's business and technical acumen is greatly over rated in my humble opinion. I wouldn't take what he says too seriously.

On my first day post-MBA I was asked what electives I did and all I could think of was all the weekend trips I went on😂

An MBA literally tripled my income. It positioned me to take a stab at my dream job. I don’t think it’s for everyone and I think it’s becoming a little less relevant with online resources. But it’s working for me.

As far as his comments: Part of it is an argument against capitalism. Financials are important to shareholders and over-engineering a product is not always the answer.

Should more leaders spend more time on the manufacturing floor and be more connected to the product they sell and the people making it? Certainty.

I don’t think there’s much in an MBA that you can’t learn on the job. It just certifies you know the info. It doesn’t signal you can apply anything though.

His word is interpreted in a hyper reductive way by people to make themselves feel better, which is consistent with the general inadequacy and lack of self worth our society seems to be plagued with at the moment. His CFO is a Harvard MBA whom Elon encouraged and promoted to the c-suite at a rather young age. But yeah, let’s take the click bait and act like morons.

While we in consulting make fun of him, and not grasp the essence of what he is saying Palantir and C3.ai will soon build an armory of products to wipe us all out clean.

Not sure what you’re alluding to..probably a quip, but can’t figure out how. Either way, fwiw, I agree with your interpretation on his take on the matter the most (relative to everyone else on this thread).

MBA is a useless degree for the most part; it's the new law-degree and will soon go the same way in a couple of years after the market over-saturates.

Wrapping up an MBA this semester. I expect to finish with a 4.0 if that matters. Been self employed running a small business for the past 2.5 years, but the industry is going to be struggling for a while. I can starve it out, but I’m also revisiting an interest in consulting that I didn’t pursue many years ago. I feel a bit off the typical path. Wondering if anyone has any guidance as I explore this further.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
