The "catch" is most people that are going back to get their MBA are looking to move to a different firm/function/industry. If you are a sponsored student (Yes, there are firms that still pay for MBA studies), you usually owe said firm 2-3 years service post-MBA at a minimum. You'll then miss out on all the recruiting, assuming you're staying on your employer's dime.

I'm not touching the PT vs FT debate.

 

The majority of p/t students are "career enhancers", while the majority of f/t students are "career switchers." Many p/t programs limit your access to recruiting resources, whether you're sponsored or not. Often, you have to be be 50% complete with the program, which basically precludes you from internship recruiting. In general, f/t programs offer a much richer experience because you can devote 60-80 hours/week to class, leadership experiences, travel, sports, clubs, networking, etc. F/t programs are also quicker, typically 22 months while p/t programs are more flexible and typically run 27-33 months, depending on your commitment level and work schedule.

AND a free summer?!? It seriously couldn't get much better than that. Insane.

GS pays if you do B-school part-time. MBB (consulting) pays for full-time MBA.
If I get my MBA part time while at GS, am I required to stay in the same division? The whole point of an MBA for me is to go from AM -> IBD. I'm a year away from applying, but I'm still curious.
Get busy living
