Hey guys. So I'm in a dilemma. I was recently accepted to a top executive MBA program (Wharton/Columbia/Booth/Kellogg). Due to several factors, a top full-time program is not feasible. I'm a former trader, now working on a startup (VC funded, revenues have tripled in past 6 months), hoping to transition into investment management.
Obviously, a FT MBA is ideal for career transitions since that's what the program is designed for. The executive program I'm considering, however, does provide access to on-campus recruiting for full-time jobs (not internships though) as well as the other resources that the school offers. It is however more expensive than the full-time program, and I'm concerned that the program might not be taken seriously by recruiters. I've asked friends for advice and have gotten varying feedback.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
