Today's question is about switching jobs two months after joining <\/strong>and<\/strong> a few months before the application deadlines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question about Job Switch <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Poonam<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am currently prepping for the GMAT. I tend to take your service once my GMAT is done and start to work on my ISB application. I have a quick query, and I am hoping to get your advice on this. I recently switched jobs (March 2022), and the workload is too much. I am finding little to no time to prepare for GMAT and hence intending to make a switch.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first job was with ZS (20 months), and then I worked for a startup for one year, and now working with another firm since Mar 2021. I want to understand- if having short work stints would work against me while applying for Schools? Please advise if I should stick to my current role, or is it okay to make a switch?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vivek<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello Vivek,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for your query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don't think it is a good idea to make a job switch only two months after joining it. This decision will not present you in good light. I understand that it's challenging to prep for the GMAT along with a demanding job. But if you give yourself enough time and make a realistic plan, you can do justice to your GMAT prep and job. The MBA application process is highly daunting and time-consuming, so you would find it equally challenging to work on your applications along with your job. However, if you start early, have a plan, and follow it, you will be successful. You may be interested in MER students' advice on GMAT prep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason you may stick to your job longer is that your supervisor will get time to know your work closely, which will help you with your LOR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope it helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good luck with your GMAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
