It’s fine for learning and some networking, but you shouldn’t expect the same results as a full time MBA. So potentially faster at current company, and maybe long term, but will be hard to switch careers.

Depends a lot on the MBA. I am in Tepper’s mba and I have seen a lot of folks change their career. I have also seen people change to the full time program to recruit and network. A few of them have landed MBB offers. It can be worth it but there is an extreme element of self selection into it. You get as much as you participate.

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?
