> My casual observation is that these programs are not taken as seriously

In many schools there is no external difference between full time and part time (evening) MBA programs. You walk out the door of both programs with the exact same degree. Nobody outside the program will ever know which path you took to get the degree.

Will they not notice the overlap between a job and the programme?

[spookthesunset]

Even if they do notice, anybody who was ever in a school with both a full time and an evening program knows that there are tradeoffs to both. Working a real, full time day job and then taking school on nights and weekends is not easy.

I've had a job since I was ~15 years old and have a masters in CS. No one has ever wondered about the overlap.

I also did my Masters part-time. Noone’s ever mentioned it, but it’s pretty obvious that that’s what I did from the dates.
