Do FT MBAs look down on their PT classmates at all or is it all one in the alumni/networking world? (Personally, looking at Kellogg and Stern PT once I exit to industry).

I don’t think so. Maybe they pity us for still having responsibilities outside of school. That being said, FT students in my program typically had much easier access to networking/career opportunities.

I made good connections with fellow PT students. It helped that we still had a “cohort” model, meaning most of my classes for year 1 were with the same people, so we could get to know each other pretty well. Those who did FT would probably still be helpful if I reached out. I got to know a few, and actually reached out during the program and got solid advice from a few FT alum on interviews at their respective companies.

I hadn’t considered it until you asked. I was FT.

I’m at Wharton currently. The FT and PT (executive MBA) programs don’t overlap because FT is mom - thurs and PT is fri-sun. Even so, the demographics and needs served by these programs are very different. In no way is the executive mba a “lesser” version of the full time one. It’s a totally different experience for people who are in totally different professional and life situations

like

The reason I’m considering this is because I’m planning on leaving for industry (excitedly) so I’m wondering if a PT mba is worth having just in case later in my career

Had some pt folks in evening classes at Kellogg, other than that never interacted. The only “look down” is the bar is lower for admittance and I connect with other alumni through shared experiences (KWEST, ski trip, boondoggles, etc.) I don’t think it’s a look down at all, just will be harder to connect with less of a shared experience to form a bond over.

I did Stern PT. There were some obvious occasions where FT got better treatment or I missed out by having to be at work during the days, but i got paid for those two years so it was worth it. I participated in on campus recruiting and that's the most important part.

Not in a way that employers could see, other than inferring from the resume. The important difference is that you have to jump through some hoops to be eligible (e.g., interview training that isn't otherwise mandatory for PTers). Ask NYUs PT recruiting people about Langone IGNITE and you should be able to get more recent info.

From my experience, my friends who did PT had a much tougher time networking with classmates, alumni and on campus recruiters. While I don’t think anyone looked down on them, they had to work especially hard to bridge this gap and continue performing in their jobs.

I don't think it's a look down issue, they simply are regarded the same way from a market value perspective and the 2 groups don't interact much. consider a 1 yr program instead...

Hello, does anyone work as an auto underwriter for insurance? I recently got accepted for an internal job position and was offered $50k. I’m currently a claim processor making $20/hour so the offer is more than what i’m making but is low in comparison to the average salary for an auto underwriter in AZ (which is around $58k). I believe because the company knows how much i’m making they lowballed me. Any tips on how to navigate the salary negotiation and can u share ur salary ?

What are some strategies or tactics you have developed which are very successful in small markets (I'm talking SUPER small)? I feel like I've thrown all my darts and some markets still can't find talent.

Some things I've tried, here in Canada:

- non-profit/employment centers
- indeed headunting
- getting field/hiring managers to post around town
- getting on local FB groups
- local schools if there are any
- physical posters
- newspaper/old media (not great)

Ideas needed 😭
