How do you define ROI? What are you looking to get out of it? All top consulting firms, including MBB, have hired more STEM graduates off late than MBA s given the changing demand from clients. I am not sure if executive or evening MBA s have the same prestige or even access to the same jobs as full time candidates have.
So I did my full time MBA from Yale, and now as part of the recruiting panel in my practice, Part-time MBAs /executive MBAs are generally not viewed in the same light as a full time MBA period.
However, it also depends on the school i.e. Exec MBA from NYU/ Booth etc will always be more highly considered than a Rutgers or Temple full time MBA (no offense to either of these programs)
As an SM I think it's hard to justify ROI... what exactly is it going to get you and at this stage in your career do you really want to change firms? If the need is truly education for the sake of education, you can't put a price on it, but if you are thinking improved career prospects, I believe you are already rocking it and don't need a degree to prove anything
KPMG 1, thanks for the response. I feel I have hit a wall ( even with the recent promotion) and don't see much happening here given the top heavy crowd in my group. Looking to move into strategy based positions (outside of consulting). I am currently analytics based.
@OP I made it to manager this year with D and feel the same here. Maybe you could try taking s director position in the industry and then executive MBA to make you way up to the next level. Atleast that's my plan and I have seen people do that.
I was a techie, switched my career to finance, worked In the industry for 15+ years before becoming consultant. The MBA investment I made was worth every cent. The pay back was quick ( one phone call away). If you are young(<30) I would strongly recommend investing in it.
OP- I'm starting my part time MBA at Booth this Fall. Would be happy to talk to you and help you with any insights. Drop a burner.

PWC 1 could you share any thoughts on funding options for international students ? Interest rates on student loans you may have availed ?
