McKinsey & Company 3 years into my career as a consultant and thinking about going to MBA next fall (F22). A friend at McKinsey & Company referred me but for a Business Analyst role. Is it worth applying and pushing back b-school plans or should I apply to b-school and try to switch firms then?

Do you already have a McKinsey offer and MBA admission in hand? If not, then just apply to McKinsey. Regardless of that outcome, you have a few months to decide if you want to apply to business school this coming fall/winter for fall 2022 matriculation.
