Should you do an MBA?

In their new episode and English-language debut, hosts Franz and
Tobi engage in a wide-ranging discussion on modern career paths
and entrepreneurship. They begin by sharing their personal
business ventures, from a co-founded gaming company to Tobi's
journey in diagnostics and Franz's current role as Head of
Product at CareerOS.


A key topic is the rise of AI in the workplace, where Franz
details a groundbreaking experiment at his company using an AI
agent for recruiting top talent from a pool of thousands of
students. The main segment features a deep-dive debate on the
value of pursuing an MBA. They weigh the high costs against
potential benefits like networking, salary increases, and career
pivots, while contrasting the different MBA landscapes in Europe
and the United States.
