But a senior engineer with an MBA is neither, they are both and more. A senior engineer with an MBA is far more capable than the majority realize. They can optimize within a business to the degree entire departments are automated. Serious: we all work in complex organizations, and knowing how they are composed and how they interoperate, and how all that is boiled into an accounting soup is what an MBA teaches. If we're supposed to be automating all that, having an MBA is essential to not be a mindless minion working on processes without knowledge of how your work fits into the whole during this gargantuan transition.
