Once you get your offer—you can do whatever you want! but in the meanwhile, they can always ask what you are up to, and at some point, they might learn (especially if you don’t want to lie) that you have left your job. And if they are still considering your application, that may work against you. My advice would be to keep your job if you have been waitlisted or havent heard back yet—once you get in, then you can do whatever you want. hope this helps!
Hi Jon, how abt switch to another house with higher title and pay, but quit after several months for school? will that do good or harm to post-mba job hunting?

I'm actually in this kind of situation. Will be glad to hear more suggestions. Thanks!
I am facing a similar (but a bit different) situation. I have been running my small business for almost a year after i quitted my previous FT job. After submitted my mba applications, due to financial and reality consideration, I accept a new full-time job (and still running my not-so-good small business). My new job has no direct relation with my post-mba goal (being an entrepneur) and little related to my previous career (same industry but different job function).
Now, I receive interview invites. While I did not mention my new FT job in applications, should I update the interviewer with my new job? I feel that it is easier to convince others with my small business exp solely and am worried that the interview might question my sincerity to my post-mba career goal with my new FT job.
Could you give me some advice? If I mention my new status (my new job salary actually jump almost 75% more than previous), any any impacts?
