I have got acceptance at UW Foster Executive MBA, and Wharton SF Executive MBA. I am an engineering manager at Amazon and currently living in Seattle. Foster is a very convenient choice being in Seattle and is also half the cost of Wharton. Wharton is a much stronger brand but would require traveling to SF every 2 weeks. I am undecided and will appreciate any help I can get to make a decision.

Congratulations on your admits.
That’s a significant difference for the seemingly similar experience. Let me try to focus on differences as the result.
I think the biggest driver of this decision is how you’re planning to leverage your degree. Are you planning to stay where you are at right now or are you thinking of networking and changing jobs or how do you see your degree playing out? This is important because if you’re planning to stay with you employer, the more convenient and the cheaper is probably the better especially since traveling to San Francisco will take a toll on your productivity at work.
Also, if you are hoping and planning to stay in Seattle, and you’re planning to network, it makes sense for you to go to Foster where everyone will be from the local companies.
On the other hand, if you were looking to network into a new job, most likely that will be a referral from one of your classmates. They may refer you or they may even hire you. This is fairly common if they are staying with their employer. Also, going to the program in San Francisco, you were likely to have classmates from not only Seattle but also East Coast and Midwest and potentially South America or Asia. Orton has a very strong name. It makes sense if you are planning to have a global career or change continents. If you’re expecting to stay in Seattle, I think Foster may be a great local solution that will likely result into a stronger local Network.

Brand matters in short term. In long term hard work + brand matters. Think of brand as a springboard. it gives you a good package to start with. If you go to wharton you can get package of $200k+. Even if you perform average through out your career, you will get preference in promotion because of your brand. With lower college, you will have to work hard and always be in rat race to perform to the best of your abilities. Even then you wont be chosen. The brand indicates that you have one of the best brains in the industry. Just say you graduated from wharton and anyone will be impressed in first meeting and your work will be easier.
So, you can save 100k in lower brand college now or reap the benefit of brand throughout your life.
My choice will be Wharton. You are smart enough to decide for yourself.
Best of Luck
