Hello!
I would like to know your opinion about some particular situation I will face in my application: I have been promoted very recently to a new position and I wonder if that could affect how Adcomms will view my application.
Actually, it is not a really "new position" for me as I have been working in this position as an "acting role" while this new job function was created and approved in my company (the position is "Indirect Sales Channel Business Developer" ). So I was appointed to get the role and I accepted the challenge because, being honest, I have been the one who know more the long-term strategy of this new fuction for the company.
This situation makes me wondering if I should to continue my application as I expected (intake January 2023) or to wait until August/Setember 2023 (I am currently 31 years old and the idea of waiting is always a bit difficult to digest).
I will appreciate get some feedback from you.
Many thanks and best regards!

Continue with your plan and apply for the Jan 2023 intake. Waiting the additional time won't necessarily hurt you (even for your age) but it certainly won't help drastically.
Since you have already been in this role in an "acting" capability, you are really only talking about a change in title. That's not going to change your essays, core responsibilities, etc.
You can easily discuss this promotion in your essay and CV; plus, your recommenders (assuming they are from the same company) can also talk to this career acceleration.

Unless you want to work in this "new" role, it doesn't require that you wait for more time before you apply. Given your age, you would already have about 7+ years of work experience and that is pretty substantial.
Moreover, the application itself is a time taking process- you start at least a year before you matriculate. So, even if you apply now, it will be a good 8-12 months before you join campus.
