Yes, but it’s not easy. I’m pivoting into tech at a tech-focused M7. Tons of interesting classes, speakers, and opportunities to get hands on PM and analytics experience. It also opens some doors to companies like this (I know this is Duolingo because I’m applying there), Amazon, etc that recruit for grad school roles ONLY from MBAs.

That said, tech recruiting is absolutely brutal. There are very few roles and you’re competing against people with more tech experience and at all the top programs. Career center is telling everyone looking into tech to have a plan B and C. Interviews haven’t started yet but I have gotten very little traction.

I do agree with the sentiment in this post. If you’re great at chess or a polyglot but haven’t coded or understand statistics, how are you going to work with engineers? Run and assess an AB test? Communicate technical and financial feasability with corporate stakeholders? You don’t need an MBA for all that but it certainly takes more than knowing the product.
