Part Time vs Full Time MBA for Prop Trader

Hello, I'm currently a senior in college and was thinking about MBAs. After graduation I will be working at a prop trading firm making between 240-350k TC first year (depending on how you annualize stub year with the first full year). I was considering a part time MBA from a school like UChicago. I was intending to use the MBA just as an overall way to learn more about buisness, network, and as well as reflect on myself. I'm not particularly concerned with pivioting to another job/ industry. I was wondering on people's thoughts of a part-time MBA vs a full time MBA. I have read that a PT-MBA is less prestigious than a FT-MBA, which would be one of my concerns.
