I’m waiting for my background check as I accepted an offer for Remote Licensed Insurance Customer Service Rep. While I’m a 1099 for my current role, I still haven’t told them I am leaving for a full time role that can change my life. It’s a small agency, and I’ve gotten close with the director. She’s the employment reference I gave; I’m a nervous that when they receive the call to verify employment, my days will be difficult. I’d hate to be let go before I start with LM. Thoughts?

Quite a few HBS alums in the industry I’ve noticed
If you’re applying to Anderson, it’s a reasonable path. At M7, it’s as arbitrary as saying you want to be C-Level at a top real estate platform (e.g., Zillow, Redfin, etc.)
Committees value high exit salaries, altruism, and diversity (based on my experience, in that order too). If you aren’t going to be the next founder of Away suitcases, and you don’t want to invest in triple-bottom-line ventures, then...sure gaming can be a convincing story. It’s just likely harder to sell why Wharton would want that over the two prior options.
Said another way, if you were reading essays, would you prefer to hear about a consultant returning to Deloitte to become the next Big4 CEO, or someone planning to build a competing enterprise to Caffeine and Twitch?
I think the story will have more nuance, but make sure to write at a macro level.
Most adcom members will be more interested to hear, “I have X perspective about gaming and want to help Y companies by scaling/financing these types of deals” than just hearing you will work at a boutique or BB.
Wharton is all about accepting the high-flyer who is going to be successful (whether they go there or not) and wants to ‘take market share’ from H/S-bound candidates.
