Pro:
- more senior people
- good network
- cost
Cons:
- not seen as equal to FT or PT MBA
- different profs and classes (hence seen as less rigorous/beneficial)
- not as diverse of a future potential network
- older career people
- on campus recruiting is absent, so it’s a no-go for career change

Def the least prestigious. Idk about the actual educational material, but it is perceived as lesser. Value. Almost as if it is a consolidation prize for older folks that didn’t get a an advanced degree or want some resume branding.

Try and get it sponsored, EMBA is to progress in same field or company and it’s good to have buy-in from them. They want you to stay so get them to put their money where their mouth is. It’s not terribly useful for pivoting, doable but rare. Do a full time program if looking to pivot.

Depends on your goals:
In person full time is usually used to pivot or for for a career office partnerships to jump elsewhere. You won’t get that. If it’s to get a leg up in your current company/career, then forge ahead

Are there any recruiters from IBM who have information on their apprenticeship program (Soft Eng)? I have applied and my application is under review. How much knowledge/skill set does one actually need to get into the new collar program? From what I have gathered online, it's kind of a mixed bag and can take a long time to onboard someone. I am self taught, know the basics of two languages and have some small projects to show. Just wondering if there is anyone that has been through this process.

Hi all! I’m an engineer working in the global health space and I’m finding it’s a small, small pool.

Anyone who’s worked in nonprofit spaces - did you stay? Did you switch to consulting/government/etc or go corporate? I’ve been applying without much response, and I’m debating whether a PMP very or masters is going to be necessary.
