So, I have 6 years of tech and biotech experience, most of it in Silicon Valley. Not surprisingly, I've worked for 4 different companies. Even though I'm applying to schools right now (for R2), I may also accept a new job offer next week. The job title and industry are going to be pretty much the same, but I expect that the total compensation will be a rather large increase. My question is if this is good news or bad news for my app? Certainly some employers like to see a bit more loyalty and consistency, but I'm not abnormal for my industry. Additionally, I have some pretty good reasons for switching companies: one company went out of business, I switched from tech to biotech, etc. I don't think that I should be concealing this information on my app, but I will likely maintain a consulting relationship with my current company through the application process. So, if necessary, I could hide this, but I'd prefer not to, as long as the adcom is going to look favorably on my recent increase in compensation.
Any thoughts on how to address this in my app?
