Then why do several prominent tech companies have MBA preferred in their business job postings?  I noticed maybe 9 months ago during a job search.<p>I also have a friend who is MBA and works at FB.  They have a whole formal program set up for them.<p>So while it may not be advantangeous per Se I think companies do use it as a proxy for character traits or pattern of achievement.  Because of that it is an advantage.  Even if not if they have a formal Recruiting program then IT is an advantage.
