Absolutely, I did it, but not for money or rank since they can and do come without top MBA. It’s about the experience. You could do exec MBA as well although timing would be tough.
I was 8 years out when I went back for MBA - graduated 10 years after undergrad - went part time evenings as i had little ones at the time and couldn’t afford to go full time. My undergrad is computer engineering and I wanted the business degree to keep moving up and get a different perspective. I think it was worth it to get a more well rounded education to enhance my experiences (for perspective I graduated with my MBA from Kellogg in 2003, 20 years later would do it again)
My humble opinion: if BCG pays for it, why the heck not?
I started b-school 9 years after graduating college, had a masters degree already; for me, totally different bc I did not come from consulting and was able to transition in with the MBA so ROI was real and immediate.
Pros for you: lots of work and life experience you can bring to the classroom, focus on electives bc you can prob place out of many required finance/economics classes, a 2 year break from life, you won’t feel as “old” as you think you might (I’ve always had older friends but rather enjoyed making great friends who happened to be younger so “late” in life), great study/play abroad experiences with likeminded people.
You’ll never get the chance again to do something so fun and rewarding.
You’d be at the high end of YOE in European schools, in the US you’d likely be a better fit for an eMBA (an outlier in most FT programs).
Why would you want to pursue one now?
AlixPartners 1, thank you. I’ve thought through most of these and am still weighing the decision. I’m not completely sold for some of the points you’ve listed such as education (I have a MS in Systems Engineering) and branding.
Just simply gathering additional data.
