If those are truly your three goals, I might wager to say you’re better served by just getting a different job - it would allow you to broaden your strategic thinking beyond Accenture, grow your professional network, and build business fluency in an ownership role (far more than an MBA could teach you). The only advantage of an MBA is that the network might be broader (+ “better” if you are willing to consider FT programs, on average)
I would challenge you to ask yourself if those are truly the things you seek out of an MBA. Do you just want the three letters on your resume? Sure, get a lower-ranked PT MBA. Do you want to pivot careers or get another shot at recruiting elsewhere? Get a FT MBA. Do you want a break from the long hours? Get a FT MBA. Do you want to build deeper connections with other students? Get a FT MBA. Do you *really* need to get a PT MBA while still maximizing brand value and quality of professional network? You’ll have to make sacrifices - maybe you transfer to the Chicago office for a couple years and do Booth PT.
As a potential alternative middle ground, since you don’t seem to want to leave Accenture, and since I believe you probably have more underlying goals than what you’ve listed, I’d consider 1yr full time programs like CBS J-term, Kellogg 1yr, or even INSEAD.
BC1 couldn’t have said it better. Agree it seems your goals are easily obtained if you just recruit now with a different firm. As a consulting manger with 7 years under your belt, that should be doable.
Contd. I am not sure if it makes sense to pursue a PT program that isn’t a top b school or if that would be a waste of money. Or if doing FT is actually a smart move. Lmk thoughts or any guidance if possible. Is anyone in same boat?

With zero financial support and 55-60-hour workweeks, your reasoning is weak, IMO. Do you foresee the three letters opening up doors or fast-tracking you?
