You don’t need an mba but you will need some serious interview skills and a dash of luck to be competitive. That said, an mba is a much easier pathway in simply because it’s a major pipeline for fresh talent

My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.
