Take another job? Non McK experience is always valued
At the start of last year, I was CTL’d from McK. At the end of the year, I had 3 T-10 admissions in hand including 2 M7 admissions.
Don’t let the messed up system get to you.
Were they HSW or M? Don’t mean to be an ass but the bottom half of the M7 isn’t really that hard to get into if you’re a U.S. citizen. It’s a mostly pay to play thing. Also most people won’t think wow this person must be so sharp. Mck means more on the resume than having Kellogg, Booth, CBS. It’s debatable about MIT

I assume you mean taking some time off and then getting a new job (not just not working until 2026), right?
If so, this will actually make your profile better for b school applications. It’s becoming increasingly hard at top schools to get in directly from MBB.

Yup, and MBB has gotten much bigger in size while HSW class sizes have remained constant. Do the math on that…
Well I’m partially worried worst case info can’t find anything… idk what that would look like to take a year off
Mentor
A year off can potentially work if you have a good story around it…but it’s extremely uncommon, so would require some explaining for that reason.
