How easy is to decline an offer from McKinsey and reapply later?

I'm going to decline an offer as a Business Analyst from McKinsey to work in a different industry. Though I'm not planning on it, how difficult would it be for me to reapply to McKinsey after a year or so given that I already had an offer?
