Looking for any tips or suggestions from successful company sponsorship for an EMBA.

I’m looking to do an EMBA but will need my company’s support from a time and financial perspective. I’m think to ask for 50% of the cost and propose a couple different programs. Anyone successfully get company sponsorship that can share insights?

I tried at IBM. They offered like 30K and didn’t give me any “explicit” guarantee of employment or leniency due to school. I said F it and went to FT top mba program instead. I had 9 YOE.

Already work in mgmt. consulting but looking to do either consulting or ibanking post-MBA (have only been at company for 1 year so not sponsored and may or may not return to my company).
