Every company is different. The skills taught by an MBA are not all that transferrable to a mid-level engineering manager compared to the more targeted engineering management programs, so some companies prefer that to the MBA. So let me go back to my earlier point. If your son’s company is suggesting to him that he go back and get an engineering management degree, then that means that degree is what they value more, not the MBA.
