I'm just curious why is everyone motivated to attending Haas? At first I tricked myself into believing Haas is the golden ticket to being where I want to be, but in reality, in tech, nobody I know has a MBA who's high up in the ladder. Is anyone else in Tech/engineer who's doing a MBA?
I honestly can't convince myself that it's anything more than a golden piece of paper that looks semi-nice on linkedin. I already have one golden piece of paper from undergrad, why should anyone spend more than 120k for what appears to be a dying degree that's actually looked down upon in silicon valley?

For me, it's because I'd like to live on the West Coast and Haas places well in consulting. The tech angle is exciting too of course, and as someone without engineering work experience (but engineering background in undergrad) I think being a PM would be the perfect mix of technology without being too technical for me. Haas goes a long way in helping that (can I submit this comment as an essay pls)
I think in your position I would be doing some careful ROI calculations. I don't know if MBAs are looked down on in the Valley outside of the engineers - and not everyone wants to be an engineer forever. Then again, I'm one of those people who'd be happy to be looked down on as long as you pay me well and don't expect me to spend weekends in the office.

FWIW, Satya Nadella went to Booth and Tim Cook went to Fuqua.
