In 2025, many people in the tech industry are wondering: Is getting an MBA still useful? With so many online courses, certifications, and skill-based roles, do you really need a degree to grow?
Let’s look at what’s happening and what tech professionals should know.
To shift from coding to management or product roles
To get promoted faster into team lead or director roles
To start their own business with strong business knowledge
To get higher salary opportunities in big companies
If you want to move into product management, strategy, or business roles
If you want to work in consulting or with top global firms
If you want to lead a tech startup
If you want to aim for leadership positions like CTO or VP
If you want to grow in a technical role (like AI, Cloud, Data)
If you already work in a high-growth tech company
If your main goal is just a higher salary
If you don’t want to spend 20–40 lakhs on education
If you don’t want to go for an MBA, you can grow your career by:
Getting certified in Project Management, Product Management, or Agile
Taking online tech leadership programs
Gaining experience through leading internal projects
Learning soft skills like communication, problem-solving, and team management
At Camzy Jobs, we see both paths work:
Some people grow with an MBA and move into product or leadership roles
Others grow without an MBA by upskilling and taking ownership at work
The key is to be clear about your career goals and choose what works best for you.
An MBA is still valuable in 2025 — but only if it fits your goals. If you want to stay in a technical role, there are cheaper and faster ways to grow.
If you're aiming for business, leadership, or strategy roles, an MBA can give you that edge — especially from a top college.
Browse job openings at Camzy Jobs to find roles that match your skills and goals — with or without an MBA.
