Mid-career MBA candidate currently employed but looking for new roles outside of my current industry. I have a background in underwriting and portfolio management in commercial real estate banking. I'm looking to move to the client side and into Asset Management. Due to my lack of experience on that side of the ball I'm not getting much interest from employers. Any advice/strategies on how to leverage the MBA or emphasize my skill set in order to make myself a more attractive candidate?

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
