I think you are mistaking FT and PT application threads. I can still answer your questions from the FT prospective though. PT program is actually bigger than the FT and networking between two programs is not too bad. I know EWMBA MBAA and FT MBAA are working to get more networking and joint events. We share evening and some of the of the weekend electives and all of Haas events (club or schools organized) are open to EWMBA. Not sure what the Fall semester will look like with this COVID situation, but once we go in-person it will be fun!
As for switching jobs, I can tell you that it is pretty easy in the FT program and I cannot tell much beyond that. As long as you know the target company well and worked on your resume with peer advisers, then it shouldn't be that big of a problem. The brand will get you into the door then it is up to you. I would reach out to EWMBA career advisers or peer advisers (your fellow EWMBA 2nd and 3rd years) and ask them this question.

Thank you!! Haas 23' Candidate here. I'm curious your sense of how many of peers in your class have gotten new jobs, promotions and/or changed industries since you started in the MBA program (specifically interested in anecdotes of those who transitioned into tech)?
How is networking with full-timers and how close-knit is the PT program? I know the FT program is as big as the PT program and you would know close if not all your classmates with the small class. Any personal experience you can share there?
Thanks!
