Dear brain011 ,

There are 2 aspects to pursuing an MBA:

• Interest Based
• Added professional value to boost the career

If you want to pursue an MBA out of interest, there is no discussion required, and you should go for it.

If you want to pursue an MBA to boost your career, then I would suggest you consult with your Manager and seniors once that whether in your current job, will MBA add any worth which could help you grow professionally and accordingly you can take a decision.

Ultimately, the decision between pursuing an MBA or a master's degree should align with your long-term career goals and personal interests. It's important to thoroughly research both options, seek advice from mentors or professionals in your field, and carefully weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

It depends on your career goals and whether you want a broad business education (MBA) or specialized knowledge (master's degree).
