An MBA is worth it for a SWE?
Currently I'm a Tech Lead, let's say I was very lucky because I'm 27 years old and got this role and certainly, I have a lot of free time because I learned how to delegate and I am only reviewing code right now and 1;1s meetings.
I have a lot of free time plus I am in home office, planning to save some money and maybe spending that in a MBA, is it worth it for a SWE?
I think that only might get me a director position if I want to apply sometime.
Or maybe, use that time and money create are app or something...
PS: I have never been in a FAANG company, I tried in the past when I was new grad but failed and then grew up in other companies, I hate those intensive coding interviews... | Maybe in the future I will try but at this moment I think is not worth it anymore.

I’m leaning towards “not worth the opportunity cost” as I digest my options, personally. If you really hate your job that’s a strong reason to take the plunge. If it feels fine or better, I would caution against further education.
Btw your gig sounds nice. That’s more or less where I’d like to be in my next position. Cheers.
