Hi everyone
I recently changed jobs and I plan to apply in the 2nd round of this year.
I have 6 years of work experience, divided into three year stints at two previous companies and now this new job which I started 2 weeks ago.
I changed jobs because my ex-company bought a competitor and there was not much information going around on what your future would look like, then this opportunity presented itself and it's in an area i'm thoroughly interested in (Digital Transformation) and would like to pursue after my MBA.
My question is, would MBA programs see that i’ve only been at my new job for 4 months by the time i apply as a red flag?
Changing jobs before applying to MBA, is it a red flag?

I'd say it's an amber flag. First, it opens up a conversation about why you made this choice and how open you were with the company, and then secondly, it suggests that you might not turn up on day one of classes if the new job gives you exposure you want.

Yeah, that's fair. Would it be smart to use the optional essay to explain the reasoning behind the change?
