Looking for advice: Will a PTMBA or Online MBA have any impact on my career trajectory? Currently 3YOE in HC/LS consulting (analytics) + 3YOE past federal consulting + 4YOE past academia experience + advanced degree + non-MBA masters before that. TC is 175k, no stocks. I can not do anything and hope to make partner in 5-6 years or try PTMBA or OMBA if it’ll help me secure something more lucrative. Cannot do FTMBA. Married, no kids Thank you!

Short answer it's not going to make you get any role or job. If you are doing an MBA do it for yourself and not to get a job. It more where you've worked more than what you studied.

If you do decide to undertake an MBA look for a university with a large network (ie Harvard, INSEAD, Lbs, etc.) you can tap into that will give you the opportunity to get more lucrative jobs.
