Limited value.
IBs recruit from fairly specific pipelines:
- Top undergrad finance programs
- Top FT MBA programs
- Other IBs
PE recruits fairly specific profiles:
- IB analysts
- MBB analysts
- A few top FT MBA programs for folks with pre-MBA IB experience
- Other PE shops
You will still get to expand your network, which is really the only added value. You'll have a slightly easier way connecting with some of these firms via your school's alums. But limited value would be correct.
Personal view is that exec mba doesn’t have anything like the pull of full time, and if you’re in consulting it might be hard to fit it around your current responsibilities. Makes sense to industry folks looking to move up without taking time out.

PT MBAs are rough while consulting. I’m 5 classes shy and the journey has been SUPER busy. If you’re willing to sacrifice your free time for school, then do it. I’ve had my wife’s buy-in but it’s still been rough at times.
All in all, happy with my choice to pursue the PT MBA
