Kingjamesrules,
In order to give you the best advice, I have some questions for you to answer. Feel free to post here or email me separately if you would rather not post this publicly.
Scott@personalmbacoach.com 1) what company do you work for and what has your career progression / salary increase been like over the years? Performance relative to peers? I know you reached a ceiling but it's still helpful to know your evaluation of work performance
2) where did you go for undergrad?
3) what GMAT score do you predict you will get? Or are you too far from the exam to tell now
Answering your questions
1- yes, a part-time MBA should help accelerate your career progress. There are many jobs you could consider that prefer an MBA grad
2- this really depends on some answers to the above questions as well as more analysis of your goals. That said, you could certainly improve your job prospects even if the MBA isn't from a top 10 school
3- usually it's a good idea to keep the same job, but I have seen people get a new job before going to school. You want to have a sense of what job that is and potentially start recruiting now so it can be part of your story. The reason is you want to communicate your plan for studying and working and depending on the program structure, you may want to be living in the city you are studying (though there are options where you could travel back and forth for some programs)
Please reach out if you would like assistance getting into your target programs
Good luck!
