Has anyone started or completed a part time MBA while working in public accounting? I am hoping to do an MBA while working. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated !!

Did it one class at a time; an online program as I was traveling 95% of the time for work. Per dime paid for a good portion of it.

Hey! I’m starting in fall and am super nervous so can’t wait to see the responses!

Don’t do it during busy season. You will fight to demand 6 hours of sleep and that will be a gift. You will start having thoughts about how you wish they had showers in the office because you haven’t had time to shower in 3 days. You will not be able to study.

Yes I started and completed an MBA while working full busy seasons. I basically took 2 classes during the summer and fall and only one class during busy season the first year, and none during the second. It took longer but it was more manageable.

Many do executive mba’s which have comparatively little homework and more about getting the degree and networking with peers/alumni.

It’s worth it if you can get into top ten mba and then get into something like management consulting and make like $180k+

Yes, one class at a time, no classes during busy season. Took 2.5 years.

Did Deloitte help pay for it? Where did you do it at?

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit?

Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
