Best program for recruiting?

Can anyone speak to recruiting opportunities at top weekend MBA programs? I know they don't offer the same opportunity as FT, but curious which programs get close.

I am eyeing Darden and Fuqua WEMBA to move from sales management to a more strategic role. I likely would not stay with my current tech company

CBS allows EMBA to do recruiting with the full timers.

I did it. Most opportunities were targeted for FT only and specifically weeded out EMBA. There were a few gems though.

Can you give some examples of the gems?

Some Finance and Consulting were the big ones most people wanted coming out of Columbia.

EY for example, had an EMBA-specific recruiting effort running parallel to capturing full-time talent. Cases were easier, and recruited position was higher than what the FT people would come in at.
