Did any of you do your MBA while maintaining a full-time job? And do you think it's helped at all in your career in terms of compensation or promotion?

I worked full-time while pursuing my MBA full-time. It's a challenge but it's not terribly difficult to do.
It has definitely helped me in my career. I got a nice promotion to management this past summer. While I did have a decent level of experience, I have no doubt it was my education that put me over the top and helped me leapfrog people with more experience but less education.
