[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know .... I worked at IBM for a long time.  There were few MBAs in senior management.  I met many senior executives that had no training in strategy, finance or accounting.  Mostly people that came up through sales, and a few on the technology side.  Those people could have used an MBA.

Whether an MBA is worth the price, especially outside the top schools, is a fair question.

In my experience, an MBA is required to get into investment banking or management consulting

Not if you do undergrad correctly. Tons of people go into those fields straight out of undergrad.

-------
Fair -- I knew two Princeton graduates that got into Investment Banking with degrees in English and History.
Can you advance in consulting without a graduate degree?[/quote]

IBM is a terrible company to judge anything. I worked there for a few years. The best thing I did for my career is leaving that place. The talent was terrible, the execs were clueless and had missed so many big market opportunities, it's pathetic. IBM could have been a Microsoft+AWS+Salesforce+ many other companies combined. But the execs were so incompetent, they missed most of these opportunities and are now a shallow husk of a company. [/quote]
