R2 is <60 days out so you might think about R3 instead. Most schools want to know why you waited until R3. Your explanation could be that when a slew of seniors in your firm were let go in Q4 you realized that you needed to take your career in a different direction.
BUT...depending on what you studied undergrad and how you performed you might be able to get test waivers and apply in R2. You would need to look beyond the M7 since MIT is the only M7 that offers waivers and they ask those applying for a waiver to explain why they were unable to take the test.

I’d do a couple for r2 if you can. R3 is incredibly difficult and you need an all star profile. I did a similar sprint a few years ago and wouldn’t recommend normally but with the right structure, you can definitely do it
