I am wanting to get into PM roles and thinking of applying to online MBA school( some of the best schools). How good these programs are compare to full time MBA in terms of job prospects. Is this looked down on when applying to a firm or tech company?

      I know that is not necessary to do MBA to get into PM, you either get to PM role straight out of college or seldom you get the opportunity to get into PM. But most of the case you need an MBA to get to PM, mostly PMs are MBA or engineers who spend little time in tech roles and moved to PM very early.

    Your degree doesn’t say online, and no one will bother asking. If you get an online, part time, or executive mba, it’ll all be the same degree and look the same on your resume. That being said the alumni network and job events are way better for full time, in person mbas. Plus if you can afford to take time off to go back to school, you can have a blast the second time around.

      Yep , can't leave job. Hence thinking to get an online MBA, but if getting a job is difficult after online MBA in that case why bother right?

      Why is getting a job difficult after online mba? I’m just saying the network stuff is better. Other than that it’s still all on you to apply and use that shiny new mba to your advantage. If you don’t value it, no one else will. I’ve found it helps with people who care and want to see an mba, and it doesn’t really help with people who don’t care. But I’ve never seen it hurt either
