I suggest you to work with the company listed in Nasdaq for both career advancement and MBA admission.The reasons are as follows:
1. This career change is reasonable (you have convinced me of your choice through the background introductionl); I have a client from a small US-based company last year. I helped her with the self-marketing design emphasizing the transfer from the state-owned enterprise to a small high-growth foreign company for bigger challenges in the cross-culture environment. She was admitted into two top 10 bschools with scholarships.
2. you might have opportunities to become unique in the new company that has high growth and emerging opportunities. However, the Fortune 500 company will keep you on the traditional track as a sterotype MBA candidate.
Best wishes
Michael
