Op- I cannot speak for INSEAD. I did not consider it seriously as I am in US and want to grow my career in the states. So cannot provide much insights there.
My reasons to do EMBA, PT are
1. I want to improve certain skills (executive presence, business acumen, leadership skills etc) to up level myself in the corporate chain. My day to day job does not give that opportunity all the time.
2. Expand my professional network. I heard from lot of individuals that EMBA, PT folks come from lot of different backgrounds and have a lot of self drive to achieve things in their lives, and very hard working. Being around with such a crowd is not only motivating but also very helpful. And can change perception.
3. This is from a partner who has done PT MBA from Booth. He said, he especially liked several intellectually stimulating discussions from his co-students, and even lecturers enjoy and learn a lot from student group given that they speak from deep experiences. Which is something you won’t get in FT MBA class given students are much younger.
Why are you commenting if you never done an EMBA? Or if you can’t speak for INSEAD? Again, people comment on things they don’t understand
I agree with the previous ex-McK post. I currently have an offer to attend Darden EMBA program but I’ve deferred enrollment for a year to think it over due to my recent job change to SaaS sales engineering. I think your INSEAD degree will bring lots of interesting career options with international reach. If you want to venture in that direction, it’s a great school. My focus is more US-based /federal gov’t based so I’ve chosen Darden. It is true that you’ll learn a ton, but the real ROI is the network as cliche as that may sound. My only reservation at the moment is that just like you, my current comp is in the mid $200k range and it’s difficult to justify short-term opportunity cost with small kids. After this pandemic, I’m starting to wondering if focusing on health and family is more important in my mid 30’s. Happy to discuss more and hear you and others’ thoughts!
I’m currently in Darden’s EMBA and can comment it’s a ton of work. It’s pretty brutal but I think will be worth it and I’ve learned a lot so far, coming from a non technical or finance background
To be quite frank you should have went in your 20s. Executive MBAs and part-times are merely checkboxes with lower barriers of entry.
It is valuable to offer. Schools are a business and they provide executive certificates etc that don’t have a lot of value add to students. I have seen many students attend executive or part-time programs and not meet goals. How is this offensive to you? It’s a checkbox for upper management if you have money to blow.
