Can I get management position with just a master's degree in bioinformatics?

I hold a master's degree in bioinformatics and I am just starting out my career in bioinformatics. I am only interested in working in industry and will probably never go into academia. But I have heard from others that there is a ceiling for people with just a master's degree in bioinformatics. So if I stay in bioinformatics, will I ever be able to move up into management with just a master's degree?

There are exceptions to everything, but a general response to your questions is a pretty solid NO. Maybe that changes if you get an MBA degree along the way, or in a smaller company, or after many years of working for the same company.
