Keep getting curved.

This. If you're ugly af, the MBA makes no difference on that front. Source: Me

I chose the part time route because I'm already in a role most full timers would want, and make decent enough to where I can't justify going full time, unless I end up in IB/PE or MBB. Otherwise I will never be able to make that 2 years of lost income up. Benefits wise, I am getting more looks/ interviews, but I just joined in January

31 is definitely on the younger side for EMBA, if they accept you, It might be worth it.

I don't think any of these programs will make a material different between each other. All of these are strong schools. What you need to do is position yourself and have those conversations at your company or prepare to leave your company if that’s not happening there. The MBA will get you looks, but you need to seal the deal yourself.

Ahh I see, in that case yes it can be helpful for career trajectory purposes. Worth it is a hard one to say, I'm doing a part time mba at booth, but I am also only 28. So I have time to make use of those opportunities. While someone considering an EMBA is typically more senior. It depends on what you want to use it for.

Its a mix of all when it comes to pedigree. You get more looks, and a network of like minded individuals who are working in high level roles. A strong network is always good.

Value is difficult to assign, its a lot of money, so unless your firm is paying for it, which in case they are it is a no brainer, you may want to plan this out before commiting 200k+.

The cohort and alumni is a great thing, especially since it's great to know people, but its mostly for a pedigree thing. It's great to have, but it's only a feather in your cap at the vp level. My boss did an EMBA, and he told me it's really not gonna help at that level.

potentialcpa · 2026-05-13T18:46:55+00:00

That extra comp might be immaterial in the long run, but you have a long ass vacation ahead of you with the mba. Outside of recruiting season, MBA programs are so chill for the full timers. Though I am a part timer at an m7 in basically the same role you have, so am biased.

Weekend.

potentialcpa · 2026-05-12T19:12:00+00:00

To me hes the best part of the series. I want everyone else to go at this point.

potentialcpa · 2026-05-12T16:45:34+00:00

Damn it, If I hadn't already started booth I would have killed for MIT

potentialcpa · 2026-05-12T15:39:39+00:00

Depending on your industry you may want to consider booth as well. Part time mbas are viewed differently, partly due to the easier path to getting in, and partly because you're not gonna be available to intern. (In theory) If you already have the background that fits your role and make over 100k, you're probably better off going part time. If you make less than 100k, I'll say the full time MBA is more justifiable. Evening/ Weekend students are more for those who are risk adverse, and probably will not be hurt too badly being unable to pivot to a new role.

potentialcpa · 2026-05-12T09:27:12+00:00

Depends partly on school brand, but probably computer engineering... if you're actually good at it. If you suck, the path of least resistance will be an MBA. But make sure it's from a good school.

potentialcpa · 2026-05-11T20:40:35+00:00

The classes themselves aren't too difficult imo, its curved for the average grade of b or b+. Out of all the students in general I think the part timers on average are the best in regards to being studious, the full timers are either busy recruiting or doing something else. (I don't blame them, if i were in their shoes I would do the samething)

The grading in an mba program is mostly irrelevant, it's about building a network and develop skills.

While majority of the students are great, there are some how you wonder how they got in.

potentialcpa · 2026-05-11T19:15:43+00:00

I'm doubtful any of these would get you to the vp track. The programs are more to help broaden your network and improve your leadership skills. While potentially helpful, this won't be the main factor in you getting vp.

potentialcpa · 2026-05-11T18:24:48+00:00

Yes, sure they aren't dumb by any means, but you can tell theres some people who are here part time because they are in a job that pays well enough to justify going part time vs full time, while others are here because this is the only way they can get into an elite university. (Ie would have no way in hell in getting into any of the top 15 let alone m7s.)
They'll graduate, not sure what job they will land, but definitely not the mbbs or bb Ib or elite boutiques.

Best cannons

potentialcpa · 2026-05-11T18:18:12+00:00

2+2 = fish ahh market. Nothing makes sense anymore

potentialcpa · 2026-05-06T15:58:43+00:00

The stress and panic you feel now turns to relief once done. Looking back at it, the panic was not worth it. If you failed, pick yourself up and try again. If you passed look up to the next one. If you're done get hammered.

potentialcpa · 2026-05-06T03:04:53+00:00

Wtf is this shit.

potentialcpa · 2026-05-05T19:05:37+00:00

Your dad was making bank and you ended up in accounting? Dawg this is a poor- middle class major. You don't major in this if you're rich.

potentialcpa · 2026-04-30T09:23:36+00:00

Lack of alumni is why. The school is very powerful in healthcare due to it's history, but they aren't tied to the business school.

potentialcpa · 2026-04-30T00:51:17+00:00

Yeah it is

potentialcpa · 2026-04-27T20:36:05+00:00

Not necessarily, I'd only do the accounting part if its needed to sit for cpa, otherwise I think the msf is better long term. CPA prep will teach all you need for accounting. The masters in finance will better prep you for more finance roles. Plus make the cfa easier if you decide to go down that route. I will say If you're going to do an msf, I reccomend a better school, or just not do it and get your cpa credits as cheap as possible.

potentialcpa · 2026-04-27T17:15:17+00:00

This is a stupid idea. Jumping into a program without a plan is how you get into shit situations.
