I’m thinking of applying to business school but worried I won’t have time to get a solid letter of rec if next years app is due in September. If I take this new role, I’d get a 50% comp increase and more responsibility. I have 4 YOE and have worked at my organization for 1.5 years. Should I take the money or just stay here and get the rec?

Thoughts on how to approach this?
