Hi everyone — I’m interested in hearing perspectives from those who have either completed an MBA or gone into ETA without one. For those who have done a traditional MBA (or even an Executive MBA): How directly did it help you in launching or operating your search? Was the value primarily network, structured learning, credibility with sellers/lenders, or something else? If you were already working in industry before your search, did the MBA materially change your trajectory? For those who did not pursue an MBA: Do you feel you missed out on anything critical? What did you do instead to build the network / deal-sourcing skills / operator skillset?
