Hello all,
I'm an international candidate and I'll be applying in the upcoming R1 for 2016 intake. My post-MBA goals are investment/asset management. I've also passed CFA Level 2. Although I have been doing freelance equity research for sometime (a lot of my work has been published online), I also started a small equity research firm about a year ago which caters to North American clients. Recently I got an offer to enter in the investment industry in my home country, but I'm not sure if I should take it or not. Post-MBA I would like to work in the U.S. with a reputable asset management firm for a few years at least. The path is equity research analyst to a portfolio manager.
My question is it is wise to switch job a few months before your application? I'm better off sticking to my current role and explain my post-MBA career goals without a job switch or a job-switch can actually add to my profile?
Thanks!

If it's a good opportunity, then it's no problem at all. You will learn what you learn, and if the job is better (in terms of salary, responsibilities, company) then it is in fact very advantageous for you to switch.

I think it sounds like a good move sense it is in the same industry. I think the bigger risk is the fact that you will be leaving your new employer relatively quickly and you might risk burning a bridge or leaving them feeling like you took advantage of the company. Do they know that you are planning on attending business school soon? Do you want to ever have the chance to work with them or with other close, similar companies? If so, you might want to make your plans known before you accept the offer.
