Have you worked with/obtained an EMBA from any of the well known universities within the past 3-4 years? Has it been worth it? I’ve never received a direct response from the alumni at the university events.
EMBA’s are great if you are in a senior leadership role at a company and would like to move upwards past your current scope. A great example would be a Senior Engineer Manager wanting to transition to a Director role, but doesn’t have the qualifications to handle the scope of the director role (i.e budget analysis, vendor negotiations, operations, etc). Most EMBA’s are paid for by the employer who is vested in your growth, and recognizes that your participation in the program qualifies you for that role. That’s pretty much exactly what the use case is for EMBA’s. I would never get one out of pocket, unless my employer was paying for it.
Not worth the 150k. Do FT MBA
^^^
FT isn’t an option - I need to keep my job. For sake of context, do you have an MBA or know someone that did one from one of these expensive places?
