Thinking of pursuing a Business degree after Computer Science? Here’s what you should know
If you are a Computer Science graduate, you very well know that C.S. is the art of writing high-quality code in order to build products, systems and solutions. Software Developers solve problems and build highly scalable applications. And that first experience of building something that works gives us a boost to build more.
On the other hand, a business degree along with real-world business exposure accelerates your business career. It teaches you how to analyze data and make better business decisions. There you get to learn
🔹Why to build
🔹Whom to build for
🔹The impact of what you build
Product Management
For those who are equally enthusiastic when it comes to technology and business, Product Management can be the perfect fit. There they bridge the gap between engineering and product, combining technical knowledge with market insights.
Both creators (like software developers) and curators (like business professionals) play vital roles.
While creators are at the backend and manage the functionality, it is curators who are at the frontend, and manage the delivery and user experience. A successful business needs a balanced mix of both.
Ultimately, it comes down to your preferences:
🔹 Do you want to be at the backend, crafting how things work?
🔹 Or at the frontend, shaping how things reach and impact people?
Entrepreneurship
If you want to open your own venture, then Computer Science along with MBA would be very useful in not just building but also sustaining your business. Though you will hire your own engineering team at a certain point of time but in the initial stages, you can build your own product. You will also feel much closer to your engineering team, because you’ve had exposure to that side.
In today’s world of Tech and AI, having a holistic understanding of not just technical aspects but also the management side of things, equips you well to build, sustain and scale your own tech venture. A combination of Computer Science and MBA can truly work wonders.
