Hi,
My Pre-MBA job experience spans over 4 years and 4 companies, and below is the stay and the reasons for leaving. Will it impact adversely when business schools consider my profile?
Company 1 (MNC, 8 months) ----[Top performer; No opportunity to learn faster; poor quality projects]---> Company 2 (Start up, 9 months) --- [an offer with greater responsibilities; client facing, leading projects/products]---> Company 3 (start up, 1 year) --- [industry slow down, shrinking opportunities] ---> Company 4 (MNC, leading projects, client facing, 1 year at the time of applying to the BSchool).

Consider hanging around in the current MNC for a couple of years before applying. Other than helping you build up your resume in terms of responsibilities and achievements, this move will also help you gain career progression, which would have been difficult if were switching companies every year.

hi Spon! You are wise to think about this- but in the end it is what it is- and you should focus on the positives. It is not "ideal" to have 4 jobs in 4 years- but it is also not impossible to get into B school with such a profile. First off, lose the finger pointing. No blame in why you changed jobs- so for example in company 1- don't say poor quality projects- say that you were enticed by Copany 2 and the entrepreneurial nature there- you were young- took risks... Then found or was recruited to go to company 3 and that had an industry slow down so you are now at company 4. And the best way to counter all of this is to knock the socks off the GMAT and have a strong GPA. All these things play a part. And if you can tell your 4 company story in a way that shows how it all has prepared you for your post MBA role- then it can work. You could most likely benefit from having some coaching on this- and if you want to see how our firm could help- go to this link: https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com/ ... b-visitor/
Best wishes as you prepare for applications! Hope to hear from you!
