A common question that people pose when they are considering whether to pursue a career in Product Management is whether or not they should get an MBA, or at the very least obtain a certificate of some form from any of the numerous companies and institutions out there who are offering such a document.
Almost universally, the answer is no — having an MBA doesn’t make you a more attractive PM candidate, nor does obtaining a “certificate” from nearly any source out there.
Sorry, folks, that’s just the way it is.
