Hi guys!
I just want to hear your thoughts on whether I should apply for this new job opportunity that I saw last week. It is with a fintech company that also happens to be my current employer's partner. This would help with my post-MBA goals as my primary reason for pursuing an MBA is to shift industries (from financial/insurance to tech) and of course, kick start my career in the international scene.
I am currently working on my MBA applications, writing essays and doing video assessments mostly, except for Rotman who has already invited me for an interview next week. I plan to submit all my applications by next month and expect to receive decisions by April/May. The schools I am applying for have different in-takes, some beginning this Fall 2021 and the others in Jan/Mar 2022. In case I don't get into any of the schools starting in Fall 2021, I will have to opt for the ones beginning in 2022.
If I do end up getting the job and an acceptance for Fall 2021 in-take, I would have to resign after just 4-5 months into the job. if I end up going to a school that starts in 2022, then that would give me more time.
For your reference, the reason that I am considering this is that I am unhappy with my current employer (where I've spent 7 years in, under a gaslighting and Machiavellian boss who has greatly traumatized me and affected my mental health especially this pandemic!)

This is always a tough call, but you probably should apply for the job and you continue with your MBA applications. It's possible one or neither opportunity comes through, so it's a good idea to hedge. Once you have all viable options on the table, you can decide which path makes most sense.
If you are liking the new job and feel it's a real career accelerator, then you can potentially not get your MBA and turn down your acceptances. If you aren't liking the job, you have an easy out. If you like the job but want a program with a 2021 start, you can always quit after 4-5 months and just not put the company on your resume. Sure there would be a gap, but you wouldn't be viewed as a flight risk to prospective employers. If you like the job and end up going for a 2022 intake, then you can gain some experience that hopefully you can leverage for your internships and full-time recruitment.
I am sure there are more permutations and factors to consider, but for now you need to gather options instead of worrying as much about the hypotheticals.
Good luck,
Admissionado
