I don't think that it hurts you terribly to change jobs now, but if you do (and you write about it in your app), a natural question that will come up is, "Why do you want to get an MBA now, when you've just changed jobs? Why then did you change jobs?"
I know that the better brand name may seem appealing, but this will only help you so much. Remember that adcomms are more interested in YOU than in your company.
Overall, I guess it won't hurt you chances much if you change jobs, as long as you can credibly answer the questions I raised above.
