I’m not disagreeing with your reasoning for going OMSCS route, but if the company is going to pay for it either way and support you studying, why not take advantage of it to the fullest and have them reimburse you for the eMBA?

At some point in the future if my life allows for it, I would do the OMSCS degree just for the hell of it and it’s only $7K.

Edit: A degree in STEM serves basically two purposes - education and credentials. You already have good credentials and you could teach yourself anything you want in CS.

Even more of a reason to go the eMBA route.

Yeah I agree. With 10 years as 'individual contributor', the last 2 as team lead, an eMBA might serve me better. Tech is coming to our office next week to present/recruit for eMBA, so this article and your response is perfect timing. Thanks!
