I was working as an engineer at the time & wanted to specialise so definitely helped!

I did a 2 year part time MBA whilst working a job in industry. WLB was generally okay with a handful of times it was tough.

For me it was probably still worth the time i spent. However, to really open new doors I would have needed to do an MBA at LBS
