Do it full-time. Part time degrees don't add any value if you want to change industries. Your MBB experience should make you a lock at almost every european mba program. Most are 1 year which is very doable financially. You can try to switch industries without a degree. Coming from MBB you have many options. A weak part-time degree should not be one of them.
Yes, part-time is a horrendous idea. Why do you want to do that? You would probably be less competitive if you put part-time MBA at Manchester on your resume than you are without it (in your situation given that you are at MBB). Have you tried directly? Plenty of people go from MBB to PE, especially in Europe where the recruiting is much less structured than in the US. If you wanna do something part-time, study for the CFA instead (not that it would be a huge boost to your recruiting but likely better than any of the options listed).
Half the joy of MBA is being in school and not having any responsibility. If you work your ass off in year one, and get an offer at the end of your internship, kiss any effort in year two good bye. It's brilliant.
The schools offering part time or accelerated programs are pushing the opportunity cost of being out of work for two years. But aside from losing the social interaction of spending two years with some really smart people, the quality of the program just isn't the same. Perhaps most important, the main intake for MBA hires is through the intern program (IB) if you are in a part time program, you don't get to be an intern.
because if you study business, its not about the content but a lot about the human interaction, learning from people in your class who have great experience in different fields. You do not have that with part time degrees (as much). Same reason why MBAs from lesser schools are not recommended. The things you learn have not much to do with the classes.
What above poster said. Most MBA interns cherished the idea of a two year vacation.
Additionally, those business schools above aren't exactly the biggest feeders into banks as don't have anywhere near the same reputation as other established MBA programmes. Not wanting to relocate is just stupid, especially if where you live and work at the moment isn't mainland Europe or the UK.
OK got it.
I think my network is already pretty strong (MBB), so that's not what I'm looking for at business school.
Also recruiting-wise, doing an MBA would not add that much value. MBB on my (spinned) resume should already ensure interviews.
Some of my colleagues choose to go to big-name schools anyway, but I think that's mostly for prestige reasons.
Assuming that the main thing that I want to achieve is better Finance knowledge (to feel more confident and to succeed in interviews ...), the best would be self-study? How do you view distance MBA/Master in Finance/Graduate diploma in this light?
Cheers
Not able to directly comment on the long distance in MBA or MFin but I can shed some light on Europe.
You don't need an MBA or masters in finance to improve your knowledge in finance for PE/VC. The courses you will most likely take through these long distance programs will not supplement a lack of finance knowledge. Hell, as a finance undergrad, I can apply only snippets of financial theory to what I'll be doing. The rest is academic theory. It's your experience that matters. An MBA can definitely add value but the likes of Manchester and Warwick's distance learning MBA certainly wont.
In Europe, students will seek a MFin to rebrand if they went to a non target and judging by the syllabus of LSE or Imperial's full time courses, it's more theory.
I would guess with your MBB experience, you should fare well on the technical aspect and modelling but again, this could vary by region.
Have you actually tried recruiting for any buy side jobs?
