Has anyone taken a gap year for preparing for an MBA?

I've been working in EY (Tech strategy) for 2.5 years and I'm a little tired of my work life

I want to switch but it's difficult to find a job in this climate.

I am thinking of finishing 3 years and then taking a gap year in case I am not able to switch.

Can someone provide an opinion on this? I want to understand if this is a sensible decision or not. (Pretty close to burning out)

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
