FP&A agrees. For what it’s worth, I never did MBA. I did finance undergrad and it just felt duplicative to do it again. It can be limiting to an extent but it’s also meritocratic once you’re in. It’s a screening question for many employers at the manager/director level and up but if you haven’t built a strong enough network by then than something is off anyways. (Make friends with recruiters.)

I would agree strongly with the comment to which you are replying (the parent? This is my first time commenting :). The primary benefits of an MBA are not the knowledge learned and said knowledge is shallow enough that it is feasible to gain it without the degree.
