What scenarios would better warrant a PT MBA vs. Executive MBA?

I have a family and mortgage to pay for, so taking 2 years off work won’t fit, but am trying to figure out if other MBAs are worth it.

You’re still too early for eMBAs. Those are mainly for executive-level folks with 10+ YOE

Depends where you are in your career. A little more context on your situation would go a long way to give you quality answers.

Also, would Bain pay for your MBA regardless of its E or PT?

I’m no longer at Bain, but am doing F500 Corp Strategy.

I’m 4-5 years out of undergrad and am being told that I’m likely to be promoted to a director role within the next year. F500 will reimburse about 10-15k a year in education-related expenses.

Since compensation isn’t likely to be directly impacted from obtaining an MBA, I’m more focused on expanding potential network, and obtaining something that be viewed positively by potential future employers if I want to pursue other director level roles.

Edit: I’m also open to the idea that an MBA isn’t the right option for me, so don’t feel PT / E are the only options
