I'm assuming you're a BA? Stay and make EM, then do a couple of studies to become designated and then leave. That way when you come back you'll be an EM and not a Senior Associate

Does McK have a sponsorship program? That may be an option. I see MBA as a long term play.

Not sure an MBA is worth it if you’re already an EM

Have a friend who became an EM straight from BA and burned out without the b school break. Left or went on sabbatical or something, so I’d gauge if you’re willing to stick to it til EM and still be good to go from there (whether to AP or exit op).

I'm at business school now and plan to return. Per M1's comment, I didn't want to become an EM before leaving because on return there would be more pressure to have a platform and supporters (and a lot can change after 2 years). I also think that exit opportunities are better for an EM with an MBA, vs being a ~26 year old direct to EM. Not sure if I'll want to stay on partner track or leave at the EM level, but regardless I'll be in a better position
