Part time MBA worth it? I have 4 years of experience, recently joined EY as Senior 3 (up for manager promotion this coming review cycle) in PI.
I know I won’t be making as much money as post MBA hire

🍿 same situation, but probably one more year out for promotion.

I'm targeting Kellogg and Booth part times, Stern and Haas as safety.

Full time MBA only has advantages in terms of networking IMO. If you already have a strong network (MBB/B4), I don't see the point of full time. Part time still has the brand, is easier to get into, and doesn't kill your revenue stream.

Definitely worth it.

Ehh I definitely disagree with you OP. Yes the hours are just as tough but by the responses on this thread, the perception I've gained is that job satisfaction at MBBs >>> anywhere else.

But if you don't like consulting in general, then yeah move on.

...but in terms of progression I would be ahead of post-MBA senior 2s

BCG1 spoke my heart

OP, what are your goals? Like C1 mentioned, it would be more difficult to make a big shift or do recruiting at MBB, but everyone has a different reasons for getting an MBA.

Yes to clarify, I just don’t see myself in consulting long term and MBB was always meant to be a means to an end. Just realized it’s not for me.

Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere
