I'd argue that these skills are only tangentially related. Despite what others experiences are with MBA types, one of my best managers ever was a very smart recent MBA grad with no programming experience.
He cared deeply for the team, set up growth paths for everyone that wanted them, acted as a crap umbrella when shit hit the fan, praised publicly and provided very constructive criticism in private.

And with only 2 years of programming its unlikely that you will have developed enough soft people skills.

was this a proper MBA ie 35 or so with a decade or more of work experience before doing their MBA.
A lot of people seem to do BS/BA->MBA with no work experience prior to the MBA as away of dodging immigration hassles
Straight out of school. Hour was at least a year younger than I was.
