In 1 year, I will be applying to top 10 MBA programs (2yrs WE, 3yrs WE on matriculation), and I'm running into a dilema. I'm an accountant, recently received my CPA, and I currently work for a very, very large health insurnace company in finance. They are not going to promote me for it, but I received a job offer from Big 4 audit where I would get a promotion.
Do I take the promotion, or do I stay at my current company? My thought is I am applying with low levels of work experience, so for me to switch industries may show a lack of focus. However, me staying where I'm at would show my non advancement. Of course, I could keep applying internally and hope for the best.
Ideas?

I think you should go ahead and accept the job offer as it is a step toward career advancement.

Well, it's more than just a matter of "promotion". What will you ACTUALLY be doing? If you will have bigger projects, more responsibilities, more leads, higher salary, then emphatically: YES!!!!!
This is EXACTLY what B-schools want to see. If it's just a promotion on paper, it's less important (although that too can help). Although technically speaking, if it's out of company it's not really a "promotion" but something else entirely...
