Hi all!
I'm 32 Russian with long career in global IT corporations with specialty in product management, product marketing and pre-sales. Now I'm struggling to find an MBA program.
My goal: I plan to remain and grow IT industry and leverage MBA to find a job in (in order of priority) US, Canada or Western Europe.
My constraints: I'd like to remain on my current job, so I'm considering EMBA, part-time or online programs. Meanwhile my employer do not approve my absence for 3-4 days per month, as the majority of EMBA programs require.
Is there any good US EMBA program with flexible schedule?
Is there any good European EMBA program with flexible schedule?
Is there any value of online MBA (such as Warwick, Durham, Bradford, etc) and what are the best programs?
Appreciate any other suggestions for me.

Hi there I'm kinda confused are you currently in Russia? Or whatever the politically correct term is to call that area anymore? I sure wish that you would be open to a full-time MBA program because I think that's going to have a lot more leverage in finding a quality job in the US then an emba program.
I'm a little confused about your interest in a part-time program if you're in Russia? Where are you that would help us answer the question.
If you're looking at online programs and really feel strongly that you don't want to go with a full-time program, check out the US News & World Report rankings for online MBA programs. The top of the list is University of North Carolina and I do think that there's potentially some good leverage there because they are actually a good school anyway.
Another point about the emba, I do really think it would be difficult for you to complete that without having the support of your employer. You're not just traveling 3 or 4 days but truly engaged in a constant process with your teammates and there would be a potential impact on other days of the month as well. I just don't think that would be a good way to go.
If you are serious about moving, then I would really look at maybe when your programs and European programs where the age of 32 is no big deal. Apply to limited MBA programs in the US that are full-time and two year. If it's impossible for you to get financing or leave your job, then I would probably say online MBA program at UNC.
All of this being said, I am a huge proponent of AYM, ask your Market. I really don't understand why we're still in the stone ages about doing this, if you plan to sell your degree to a specific employer or industry, it's important for you to speak with the hiring managers and recruiters of said industry.
Playing some type of insane guessing game about what they want is exactly that. Is a high degree of accuracy and that would be an expensive decision. You really don't want to do it online MBA program and then search for a job find out that it does not have any impact with employers and have this huge bill to deal with
