The Value of MBAs
An interesting POV from Mark Suster on the value of MBAs today and what VC or Start-ups are looking for in their recruitment process.
Are MBAs Necessary for Start-ups or VC?
via mikehudack:
“I’m not against MBA’s (I have one myself from University of Chicago and my lovely wife was graduated from Wharton – she loves to remind me that they usually score higher in the rankings than we do). Many of my best friends have MBAs. But as someone who is in charge of recruiting, I feel like it adds a ton to the expectations of compensation without adding any additional value to me as an employer. I say this as somebody who recruited several Harvard, Wharton and similar MBAs at my first company (the one where I acknowledge that I made every mistake in the book). I paid up for the diploma but can’t say that I saw better results.”
