Good afternoon,
I am considering to join the HSg MBA and would like to know which might be the best option. I have already a job in Switzerland and I would like avoid to leave a my job and my salary for one year.
On the other side I am not sure if a part time MBA would be worth it in terms of network, connection with companies and job opportunities, value of the program perceived from external etc.
Do you have any information? Many thanks
Is Part-time MBA at HSG worth it?

This is exactly what top part-time MBAs do, in Switzerland and anywhere else in mainland Europe. HSG is the school most respected by Swiss business people, and it has a deep brand value across the German-speaking region (especially among the over-50s). If you get into an MBA at HSG and can speak and write German you are highly likely to get the benefits you describe.
PS In terms of price performance, learning Hochdeutsche and Switzerdeutsche might be better investments for foreigners.

In terms of Net Present Value, the full-time course is the investment with the greater financial value. However, a part-time MBA is easier to get into. I was admitted to the full-time MBA at some similar schools (EMLyon, ESADE, HHL, RSM) but turned down by the full-time MBA at HSG.

Switzerland is an amazing country with really good salaries but knowing the job market quite well, most people 90%+ that work there are Swiss and have done Swiss universities. I think most employers would prefer a swiss from a less respected university than a top MBA candidate that does not speak Swiss-German (and French to a certain extent).

I think this _feels_ true to you but it isn't literally true. A third of workers in Switzerland have migrant backgrounds: https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/en/home/statistics/population/migration-integration/by-migration-status.html

The OP already has one of those jobs. Do you have a suggestion for how they can move forward, or recommendation between the full or part time options?

I am a bit torn about HSG MBA as this is not the HSG flagship + in a separated entity vs the traditional HSG (HSG Business School in this case).
I feel in Switzerland IMD might be a better idea or one of the Euro powerhouses (Insead? IESE? LBS?).

Hi Duncan, wacxording to which information you say that a FT MBA has a higher NPV than a PT. Unfortunately I could not yet get the kind of reply I expected, some omments were unfortunately off topic :) by the way I have a B2 German knowledge and trying to further improve, not sure this can help.

I am trying to understand why you say so, I know how to calculate NPV, but I do not understand why say FT has a higher NPV than a PT. Maybe an example? Anyway let's hope that somebody else might bring his/her experience about Part-time MBA :)Are you asking me how to calculate NPV?

The fulltime MBA produces a larger uplift in income.

Ok, but this is normal, since the majority when join the full time MBA have not a job in Switzerland.
