Better chance getting into MBA program with another grad degree?

My 2-cents:

I think it will help. Getting your Masters shows focus and dedication to your career field.

While most GPAs will be better in a Masters program, due to the fact that most Masters programs require a better GPA to stay in. Regardless, having the Masters alone says you have a decent gpa. I hope that makes sense. In short, don’t worry about the gpa.

What you need to show is an increasing level of responsibility in your career. It’s all nice and fine that you got a Masters and that shows you love your job. However, an MBA is generally something leaders go for and a Master is something SMAs go for, especially in technical fields. So, I would focus my essays on this and try and get a position that shows that you don’t want to be the tech grunt, a promotion that wasn’t based on your education level or advance degree would be worthwhile.
