      After getting an MBA did you get a business mangery job within the similar field that you were in before? If not, how was the transition?

      Thanks for posting the video. I figured I should ask you here instead of LinkedIn just in case someone might have the same question. What's your take on Engineering Management degrees as an alternative path to an MBA for Software Engineers. Thanks!

    This resonated so well! Being a backend developer with 5 years experience, I feel that it is an internal reason that I don’t enjoy coding/ tech diagrams, strategies etc! I don’t really know what else I want but I surely know that I don’t want to do this for the rest of my life. Your video really excited me!

      I like doing technical stuff, so I am leaning towards MS, and maybe later in the career when I have good experience in the field I can get an MBA and switch my career a little bit to more product-focused management type role.

    It's more internal for me. I've been coding for almost 7 years and, even though I'm decent at it, it just doesn't feel like a calling. I want to expand my options beyond the IT department and I think an MBA will give me those options. I'm only going to consider it if I get into a top program though, since typical mba costs exceed $100k+

    I am a 3rd year student, currently majoring in Software Engineering, and most of my reasons for pursuing an MBA degree in the future is due to internal reasons. I thought that pursuing bachelor in SE would be a great experience, and even if coding was hard and dry, I would adapt myself to it according , as I did before university, but this time, I was wrong. I hope I get a chance to pursue a credible MBA degree, along with my full-time job in the future, and then decide what I should do after I get that MBA.

    For me it's both internal and external. I accidently chose IT as a major in my engineering. Fast forward 6 years, I had this somehow in my mind since last year that MBA is the next big thing I should go for. Need no mention that it opens up door to a much broader opportunities. External because, being a manual tester, I didn't get appraised well this year, although I am very good at it. So this sparked the fuel to either opt for Selenium Automation, or go for MBA.
    Can you please let me know which among these two, that is Selenium or MBA, will be more profitable to me in the long run?

    • @thequestion2056
      @thequestion2056 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can do both. You can pursue your MBA while learning selenium at the side. Also I would try to get into an automation tester position within your company so you can get some experience

    I'm currently in the military and I will get out in 2024. I'm currently work in media and I would like to continue in this industry. I am teaching myself the basics of coding on freecodecamp and I'd like to land a job as a web developer and even make my own games and products to generate income for myself away from my main job. I will have my GI bill to use for school and I was considering an MBA because I've read online htat it has application to a wide variety of careers AND I believe that I will learn things that will help me in my personal business endeavors.

    Hey , I want to ask the effect of ML/AI on core bschool jobs like consulting , finance, sales and marketing ............ Is it that an ML engineer will be more economically valuable than his manager.

    • @derollo3
      @derollo3 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      As part of the digitalization of economy, two types of people are going to be the most valuable. ML/AI engineers and then business people that know how to create vision/strategy in digital economy. I'm afraid people that manage will always be economically more valuable. The reason is a success. Everything you do you do in the end for people. People/shareholders want money. The person with the biggest responsibility on how to make money from some product/service, whether it's ML/AI analysis, automation is still some sort of a manager, that is responsible for the whole success of the given venture. Sure from the technical perspective, ML/AI engineers are extremely important, but from the standpoint of making actual money, managers are the most important entities of any corporation. You can have a technically brilliant product which will never see commercial success, which is a failure from the corporate standpoint, while at the same time it can be a success for an engineer. Of course, technical part of any product/service in digital economy is crucial to success, but success itself may not be brought just by this technological part, but also by other parts like marketing, sales, hr, r&d... And you need some people that will make sure this "whole" success for people occurs, in terms of profit.

    Thanks for creating this video.
    I am wondering If I can get your thoughts on this:
    - I have been working for over 10 years and have been feeling stuck in my career.
    - During coffee chats, I was suggested to consider MBA or MS Computer Science (I don't have an undergrad in CS but saw there are some bridging programs out there for those who don't).
    Wondering what do you think about MBA vs MS Computer Science?
    - I think MS is usually for those who usually have around 2 years of work experience but may not be appropriate for those with more work experience.
    - I think with MS CS one tends to become a software developer writing code. Pays well but just writing code.
    - With MBA people usually tend to go into 3 buckets (consulting, IB/financial services & tech). My perception is that the work life balance of consulting/financial services isn't great and also getting there in mid 30s is tough but tech (product management seems to be the most popular role in tech post MBA, though the current tech economy isn't great with layoffs) seems more open with better work life balance.
    Would love to get your thoughts.
