For the part time MBA folks, how did it impact/change your career? For those getting a PT MBA now, what are your expectations?

- I learned a ton ✅
- my part time degree is technically the same as the full time degree (i.e., I don’t have to call out “part time” on my resume), so I’m credentialed very well ✅
- I don’t have a network from it ❌
- my undergrad network is really great so it’s fine
- overall, definitely worth it ✅

How it’s changed my career: people think I’m smarter than I am, and I feel like my career has unlimited opportunity.

Got my PT MBA from an M7 school and significantly impacted my career as I got a job in consulting with a 70% pay bump

Was this during the covid hiring era? Were you local to the part time program?
