Would it make any sense to lateral from an Operations role at a BB to a RFA analyst role at B4 after I’ve already done 1.5 years as an analyst at the BB? Or would it make more sense to stick it out in Ops to a AVP role? Trying to figure out which one will look better on the profile when I start applying for MBAs.

I think you should pursue the path you want to take versus what you think may or may not look better to MBA AdCom. Your journey should reflect the career path you want to take.

You want to demonstrate progression, so the promotion may make the most sense. With that said, a lateral move can sometimes mean more pay. One of the ways AdComs evaluate progression is through your salary. Do not take a role if it means a hit to your salary. I’ve spoken to multiple AdComs about this as I was in a similar position.

smart

Interesting i never knew that- I was always under the impression that they looked mostly for career progressions/promotions/leadership rather than also looking at salary (and yes this would be a salary bump of around 16%)
