Should You Get an MBA? - EP.37

We often get emailed by 25-35 year olds interested in getting
into private equity, venture capital, or real estate private
equity, wondering if it’s worth it or not to go get an MBA. 


Both Brad and I have our MBAs (which serve us well) — but there
are definitely pros and cons to getting an MBA. So we thought
it’d be a good idea to address this question and get into all the
juicy details of why you should (or should not) get it, some of
the pros and cons to both of the options, and the other possible
pathways you can take. We also share our own experiences in
earning our MBAs and how they have benefited us in our own
careers.
