Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

Hi, all
i come here to look for advice. I quit my full time job in consulting in 2022/9 and then started to build my own business with my friends. We are working in the form of DAO (decentralized organization in web 3), providing digital solutions (such as task management tool) for other DAOs. The problem is that it is so new, we do not have any revenue now. other members work in part time.
Also, the DAO can't give me the certificate of employment (we use NFT ). But i can provide our website, product demo. and my salary is 0.
in this situation, shall I include this experience as my full-time job or shall i choose "unemployed" and put it in optional essay in MBA application essay?
Will this hurt my competitiveness in MBA application?
Shall i try to get a full time job as soon as possible?

Things will already be difficult this cycle, and being unemployed is going to hurt you. I do think it would be wise for you to find a full-time job immediately. Hopefully something that will allow you to work on your applications and your side gig. When a school admits you, they want to feel confident and secure and how their recruiting companies will feel about the applicants coming from that school. So if you have a big gap on your resume it might give them pause. You just want to look very employable to the recruiters for internships.

When it comes to your MBA application, you must include your experience with your DAO as your full-time job, even though you don't have traditional proof of employment. In the optional essay, you can explain why you are unable to provide salary slips or an employment contract. You can provide relevant work references and any other evidences you might have related to your work in the DAO.
MBA admissions committees value entrepreneurial experiences. In your case, if you craft an effective narrative, your non-traditional work experience will become a huge strength in your profile. It will show your willingness to take risks and follow your passions. So, it's important to highlight the skills you've developed and the challenges you've overcome as an entrepreneur.
Having said that, given how competitive admissions to top schools are getting, you can consider finding a full-time or freelance job that aligns with your career goals while continuing to work on your DAO project. This will definitely strengthen your profile further
