Useful.

Good reinforcement that you have some MBA chops - that are often/usually underdeveloped in industry. And can do math.

funny

One partner says useful, another says useless 😭 Need a 3rd partner chime in

Nobody will know if it’s part-time or full-time - they’ll just know you have a MBA. You’ll get a mix of opinions on here and misinformation - some grounded, some from people who dislike MBA’s. Most firms want to see academic credentials to validate that you’ve been taught the right stuff from a reputable institution as a criteria for entry. I know people hired by MBB and A&M with mid-tier MBAs and strong experience.

Ex Kearney; Currently at A&M; Former part timer at NYU. Are you targeted probably not. If an option would go full time.

That being said once you are in (networking / otherwise) really not a difference in part time vs full time.

A&M values your job / work experience more than MBA. Hope that helps.

Sure

If you make it to senior manager at big four can you leave and become partner or director at mid size firm? Is this hard to do? I know there is a lot of politics at big four and have no interest staying in a senior manager role for 6-8 years and risk a chance of still not becoming partner. Also I got a long way to go before senior manager fyi.
