Unless you&#x27;re considering the opportunity cost of doing an MBA vs. learning a new technical skill for 2 years, I&#x27;m not sure how extra education could ever be a disadvantage. Sure, in tech (specifically in Silicon Valley), the value of the degree is pretty much ignored. I&#x27;d probably get the same opportunities out here with or without mine on my resume. I can&#x27;t see it ever being a detriment though. Are you telling me that there are companies who will interview me, be all set to send me an offer, then find out I have an MBA and say &quot;Oops, no-hire! Looks like you&#x27;re a moron!&quot;
