Do MBA admissions care about internal promotions more than just hopping to a different company and receiving a promotion that way? I got an offer at a company I really want to work at but I’m expecting to be promoted this year. Not sure how to approach.

Your title of analyst & thoughts of b school makes me think you may be early in career. To admissions, Jumping a lot when your newer to working *could* look like you don’t know what you want, are non-committal, are money focused etc. not always, but could be. What’s most important: think about what story you want to tell on your app - don’t say you want a career in consulting yet are switching out of industry, etc. just make it make sense :)

One is getting a promotion, the other is job hopping. Promotions likely carry more weight because it's proof of performance.

OP - you've asked for an outside perspective and we're giving you one. Don't argue just because it's not the one you want to hear.

As I said before, if you want the other job go for it. And honestly, don't focus so much on what you think you need to do to get ahead. Focus on what brings you intrinsic motivation and enjoyment with work. Figure out what you really want to do and that's going to make the most compelling story for an MBA program if an MBA program is going to help you achieve your goals.
