Hoping to get a little perspective. Wondering if it's worth going to Haas over Foster PT? Currently 29, salary at 135K working for a major tech company. Right now I'm based in Seattle, and don't really want to move right now, but open to it in 3-5 years. As I'n thinking about schools I'm trying to think about the long term ROI but getting a little stuck. It looks like Haas being in the top 10 is awesome long term, but I'm wondering if it's worth it given I already have a decent salary and a lot of working years left. Also to boot, If I were to attend Haas I believe I'd have to take loans vs. Foster where I know I can pay it loan free + saving somewhere in the neighborhood of 70K in the three years (which I would heavily invest). I want to get an MBA to move to more strategic roles in tech, more focused on analytics to drive marketing strategies. I think both programs can help get me there, it's just a matter of what really makes sense. Haas' network and reputation are attractive, but flying every week would be a drawback since I couldn't network. On the UW side, the Seattle network is super strong, and the price tag is super manageable, but it is at best a Top 30 school. I have my BA from Harvard, and also worried about the perception that if you go to a top school for undergrad you have to go to a top school for grad.
