I did while working in consulting, but at a T2ish, used it to help me get into MBB. It was manageable then, but I would see it being tough if you’re currently at BCG. It’s a lot of effort and will require you to prioritize and give up the nice to haves (some social activities/hobbies) to be able to keep up on work and school.
Also with the PT MBA, you get out what you put in. You can do the bare minimum to get by, but will get less out of it. It’s plenty fun, but different from full time in a lot of ways.
Overall I’m glad I did it, and despite overlapping with Covid, would do it again in a heartbeat. Not having debt and hitting my ultimate goal of MBB was worth it all, but be very real with the time and effort it’ll take, and what you’re willing to sacrifice to make it happen.

Congrats!
I did. Will not recommend it. If you want to do MBA then full time is the best option imo
MC1 - agree completely
Did it and it was the best decision I’ve made.
It can be a lot but, but it helped me get an MBB job so I can’t complain.
I got a MSE working full time and it sucked. My Wife got an MBA working full time and it also sucked.
Lessons learned are: know what you’re getting into, don’t fall behind, *daily* work on “Little Rocks”(small, accomplishable tasks) and probably most importantly enjoy your time. You get to be a college student-adjacent again.
I started part time but then dropped after a semester. It was brutal managing coursework in addition to work and personal life. Most my weekends were wasted doing school work, and I just didn’t feel like the headache was worth it. A lot happier now that I dropped
I did it. Really depends on your current workload. There were students who worked a soft 40 at their job and were able to spend time during work hours on studies and they did great. Then there were those of us with long work days just trying to get by. You end up finding a team that supplements your weaknesses, thus passing off the opportunity to expand your knowledge.
