I exhausted all of my PTO, and then gave my firm my notice the day I got back. I recommend the mental break if you can do it financially.
I worked till 2 days before the program. I don’t regret not going on the pre MBA trips - you’ll have lots of opportunities to decompress after. The MBA itself was a fantastic (expensive), enriching break.
I worked till the end since I couldn’t roll off my project yet, but would recommend taking atleast a week off before!
Would you look back in two years and think, “wow, I really wish I worked that extra two weeks”?
Thought so.
