I'm trying to switch to a PM soon. Currently, trying to orchestrate this in my company.<p>However, wondering how difficult this would be to make a switch at a different company if I do not have an MBA?
Just my 2 cents, but the MBA isn't worth as much as just getting a PMP certification or something similar. That with your dev background would be more valuable than an MBA in practicality and in skillset. An MBA won't hurt you, but IMO is a waste of energy overall if you have more than a few years of experience. If you have < 3yrs of experience then an MBA would likely help you more and be worth the energy. But in reality it will take you 18-24 months to complete the MBA, which if you just did the PMP and kept working you'd be further ahead with less of a pain, and probably at a fraction of the cost.
