Updating admissions office and changing jobs before MBA
[#permalink]
24 Feb 2013, 13:05
Since submitting my applications, I resigned from my company. It was an early stage tech company, and although I planned to continue working there until starting an MBA program, the company had a poor culture and it was not doing well (16 employees left prior to me leaving and the company employed less than 20 people), and it did not make sense to stay any longer.
Post-MBA, I plan to go back into Finance (started there after undergrad). I have about six months before starting an MBA program, and I am planning to continue working. I think six months is too short to try to get a job in finance such as in equity research. I've been offered a short-term position with another early stage tech company to perform similar duties that I was doing at the company I recently left. The short term position is for a small (6% raise).
Couple questions.
1. Do I need to update the admissions offices of the programs I am applying to that I have left my job?
2. Would it be viewed negatively if I took on the short-term role because the role is not consistent with my post-MBA plans?
Thanks in advance.
