I haven't done either. I'd imagine it would be extremely difficult though. There was a semester where I was working full time and going to school part time. Overall I thought it was a good decision. I had a well-paying job as a software engineer before I graduated. But I was busy and it would have been a lot worse if the job didn't have good wlb.

I learned a lot, but I definitely didn't get the full experience. One of my classes was during the day, so I didn't go. I made that up with individual tutoring during weeknights.

It might be different if your research has to do with your company. It seem a lot of universities have startups connected to research groups.
