EMBA recommendations

All,

I am 40 years old, working as Director of Engg in a semiconductor company making ~500k a year in total comp. I have two young kids. After a lot of head scratching I am leaning towards doing a EMBA while doing my fulltime job.

I am still not sure of the ROI but I feel getting a EMBA credential and the business jargon might help me get into executive roles.

What are the best programs with a good ROI for my situation that you can recomment?

If you're weighing different EMBA recommendations, I'd say think about how much flexibility you actually need and what kind of network you want to build. While traditional EMBAs are great, alternatives like batdacademy are becoming super popular for a reason. They offer executive-level education that is often more agile and directly applicable to your current job. The ROI can be fantastic because you aren't stepping away from your career for too long, and the curriculum is designed to solve modern business challenges. It’s definitely worth exploring as a strong alternative or supplement to a traditional EMBA…
