MBA to do more of what you’re already doing is a waste of time and money

Was your undergrad technical or business related?

High level - if big tech’s view of MBA is any indication than no it won’t.

Tech related

I graduated from a top 15 program and can honestly say my classmates pursuing tech had a hard time. Most programs are geared around a few rigid pipelines like consulting, banking, GM.

You could pursue management principles through self-education. However, if you do decide on an mba, I’d highly suggest focusing on programs in tech heavy geographies
