Hi,
Seeking advice on a strategic career move for Master’s.
Problem statement: Uncertain of applying for Master’s in FY 25, because I have just made a job switch. I am due to start only in October 2024.
If I apply for FY 25 Fall, I have to stop working tentatively in April - considering that the organisation has a notice period of 60 days, I would approximately work for 6 months only at the new organisation. The issue is, this is my 3rd job in a span of 2 years.
While there is a case to be made for justifying the switch for Master’s, I am afraid of the optics of it from a hiring perspective post the Master’s.
According to me, it would make sense to stay at the minimum for 1 year at my new job, and then put in applications for Fall 26.
What do you make of the situation?
What would you do?
