Best weekend MBA college in USA.
Which is the best MBA college for weekend MBA with 7 yoe. (2 Dev + 5 pm) Microsoft + Amazon ?
Northwestern Kellogg
2 options as I see it - go to Phoenix and just get the piece of paper, or go to a top school to get the serious cred. Don't mess with a local mid tier option. Top school depends on what specialty want: Haas- international Booth / Stern / Wharton - finance Kellogg - marketing Harvard / Ross - management Sloan - IT / operations Stanford - entrepreneurship Wharton, Harvard, Sloan, Stanford are all better full time than part time, but others have good weekend programs.
Look at the University of Texas at Austin. They have a degree program called MSTC. It focuses on tech commercialization, think MBA classes mixed with entrepreneurship. They have two intensive weeks that are required on site and everything else is done remotely. The classes are twice a month Friday evening and Saturday all day. They have an international trip to countries like Colombia, China, South Africa to visit industry and startups. And it's only a year long degree.

Don’t waste your time mate
What job do you want after mba? The answer to that question determines the school
I want to stay in tech companies as a PM. Would see if consultancy/investment banking attracts me.. Looking for MBA from 2 objective: 1. Interact and learn more about intangible stuffs and solve some business cases along with team. 2. Ofcourse an extra boost on resume. It does help, trust me.
From the perspective of amazon, nobody cares if you have an MBA. Mba is great to help you break into product management or consulting to i-banking.
Booth. Lots of opportunity and many alumni connections at FAANG.
I would say if you are in microsoft and don’t have good connection at FAANG through ex MSFT employees, I don’t think MBA degree would help
