Nights / Weekend MBA
Suppose you go to a top / mid-range program whose regular MBA candidates get decent placement, like Berkeley or UCLA or something. I know the night / weekend programs usually last 2-3 years, and I remember seeing the post-MBA assoc resumes of an elite boutique where half of the candidates were night / weekend students.
Does it matter? Do banks frown upon it? Again, suppose it's a good target school. What does everyone think about going to a 9-5 job like equity research and getting an MBA concurrently? Financially I'm sure it helps, and professionally it doesn't sound too bad, but will the top shops like GS, JPM, etc, completely bypass the students from such programs?
I'd like to add one question to the above post: namely, do the networking opportunities change in these night/weekend programs? And if so, in what ways?
Some (perhaps most) programs limit their OCR to full time students. You'd be at a disadvantage because you wont have the ability to pursue internships after your first year. Even if you convince a bank to get an internship, I doubt you’d be able to convince your current firm to let you go for 2-3 months.
Recruiting should start the first day you hit campus. The goal is to line up an internship and after performing well, odds are that you’ll get the offer.
PT MBA programs are worth considering for several reasons: - Company is paying for it, saving you $ - Looking to move up the ranks at your firm - Network - Staying in the region
At the end of the day, your degree will not say FT/PT on it…but if your goal were to switch careers or relocate to another part of the country, a full time program would make your life a bit easier.
