Because, honestly, HR at most of these &quot;tech companies&quot; is rather clueless. Also as an investor if I see a tech companies looking to pack the halls with MBAs that tells me a lot about its soon to be bloated future.<p>If someone is really skilled outside the MBA and it was more of a tack-on then they&#x27;ll probably be fine. ...but in my experience the person relying on their MBA is the type of clueless executive that demands all the metrics for their division be totally reworked into some crazy ridiculous Excel spreadsheet because that&#x27;s the only thing they know how to use and they think this means that they are doing analytics. These are the types that slowly destroy companies these days.
