I’ve just graduated in Computer Science and I’m trying this pivot as well, but without the b-school (yet). ~2 years of tech work experience during my degree and I realised tech just doesn’t work for me right now. Starting in a much more generalist business role soon where it’s really helpful to have tech knowledge. Glad to know it’s worked out for you :)



Good luck. For me it was good to get at least a few yrs of tech experience before pivoting. it definitely was helpful later, some for the technical experience and maybe more for understanding the dynamics of how decisions get made by technical teams (including how politics comes into play). When you are part of the "business" that is the "customer" of the technical team, that experience can give you huge value that your peers may not be able to offer.
