My work experience is as follow:
I did an internship of Capital Hill
Did a 3 month training program with Marriott, wasn't a good fit so I left when the program was over
Did 10 months at Morgan Stanley but was then laid off
I am now working at a boutique real estate investment firm as their sole Financial Analyst. I've closed $200 million in office building acquisitions. I've been here for 2.5 years.
I have an opportunity to join Deloitte's Real Estate Consulting Group, which is more valuation and advisory on behalf of clients. The position would start in October and I'm applying for schools in January (Round 2).
Would it hurt my chances at top schools to change jobs now?

Hi there. It depends on how you frame it up in your applications and what your eventual goals are. If you demonstrate that the job change was a choice to gain exposure to something you couldn't get in your current position, and that it will help get you closer to your post-MBA goals, then it should not be a big concern. Plus, Deloitte is a great brand to have on your resume and schools will see that. You just need to be on top of that messaging, otherwise schools may incorrectly assume that you're unfocused or not committed. Can you still get a recommendation from your current employer even if you leave? I think that will make a big difference to show that you left on good terms plus they will know you much better than your new supervisor. But overall, no, I don't think it'll hurt your chances and we've worked with other applicants who've made a similar number of job changes. Good luck and keep us posted if we can help with anything else!

Hi Kate,
Thanks for the reply. That makes me feel a lot better. I already have recommendations from my current employer so I have that in the bag. Because of some turnover I actually worked directly for the CEO so he was my direct supervisor for a bit and I was able to get a good recommendation. I also have one from a past supervisor.
To switch the question around one more time, do you think it will look worse if the bulk of my experience is not from a big name brand and a small company?
Overall I'm thinking the Deloitte move could be a good one.
