Anyonr with non-COVID deferral stories or experiences? What worked or didn't?

Context: I am fortunate to have R1 acceptances with $ but would like to defer to get more time in my new job that I like and have a promo trajectory (started in Q1 21) + lower income due to sector switch (increasing need based aid at GSB/HBS if I am luckily accepted next year?)
