Transferring is quite rare, and I've only heard of it in two cases: 1. The advisor moves, 2. Some sort of life-and-death family emergency

Definitely read some online reviews and try to get a feel for the place. Of course, the best thing you can do is visit yourself and look around, but that's not always feasible. Talking to current...

That background would probably be viewed as beneficial or neutral. It would in no way hurt you.

Seems to me like a competitive profile. You should really focus a lot of attention on the essays though and use it to sell yourself, there are always more competitive applicants than spots.

Do you have a background in either? Strategy is easier to 'jump' into than accounting, if you don't have a background in it.

As a Junior Faculty, going into a Management/Strategy department with an Econ PhD would be very tough. A management/strategy PhD is a requirement in most of the job listings.

If you had an Econ...
