Hello everyone, I have a question for everyone here and consultants!
Background: I researched at Weill Cornell for a few years after graduation and then went into sales/account management in a clinical and medical research distributor(juggernaut in the field) after deciding graduate school was not where I wanted to go. I want to go to business school to eventually work in a VC/PE firm in the healthcare/biotechnology space. I am taking two classes right now (almost done with 1) and also run an organization on the side so I need some time flexibility regardless of what I do. I am approaching 3 years at my current company.
Lately, I have been recruited pretty hard at companies in my field that will pay 50% more than I make at the moment, but they are all in the same medical and clinical sales industry. I want to leave my job, but I don't want to be in the same industry with the same role.
Should I take a better paying job in the same industry where my role is less strategic and more sales? Or should I wait it out, finish my classes, possibly take the GMAT again, and then jump to another position in a more desirable field?

I don't see why you can't do both - If you are being heavily recruited, take it as a good sign, and use your offers to leverage not just more pay and benefits but more responsibilities (like explicitly ask for leadership). You have to see how the negotiations go, but you can also feel out the employers in regards to your plan, (i.e. to find out who might support you in the endeavor) and then go with that company.
Best,
Jon
