"Elites" (as in old money types or us new money gunners who climb the corporate ladder) ain't attending Exec Ed programs that don't confer alumni benefits. Programs like these are priced so that employees can attend with employer sponsorship. Also, if you are a mid-career SWE or are on track to be one, you'd end up in a similar financial position as most "Elites" who attend B-School or Exec Ed programs - tech is a fairly meritocratic industry compared to other comparable white collar roles.
