Anyone have any insight on exec mbas vs regular mba? I’ll probably be attempting to get mine in a few years and would already have 5-6 YOE, but won’t be looking to make a career switch or move. Would the executive MBA be better for long term then (and also more supportive since it would be part time)?

At a T10 EMBA and already increased my salary by 50% and made a career change 🤷🏻‍♀️ to each their own! It’s nice having a paycheck while also earning a degree. The piece of paper at the end doesn’t have the “E” in front of MBA.

The networking is bar none in a full-time program, but networking with execs is pretty great too lol. FT students are generally much younger in a FT program with less experience. I’ve really enjoyed learning from my more advanced and very successful peers.

Would I be able to DM you some questions please?

Full time MBA > executive/part-time/online MBAs. Anything other than full time shouldn’t be considered and are cash cows for the school.

True good point, I’m definitely not sure yet. This was something I’m thinking further down the line.

EMBAs are easier to get into than FT programs. So, if you're doing an EMBA, go for an M7 or don't even bother.

Common feedback : You're very strong in Js but seems like you're not day to day coding in React (which is absolutely true).
In current org work pressure is quite much, tough to practice seperately. (Theoretical knowledge of react is good, but need practical knowledge)
Requested my org to assign me react proj, they didnt.
