Wouldn’t it show up in background checks ? Don’t think people would buy “1 year of travelling” 

 

 I won’t be able to afford an MBA at this comp I’m not taking home enough 

 

Why are you jonseing to get back? You quit for a reason, remember? I did aswell. The job was so miserable and I knew the hours / stress never end, same and even worse for PE too. I quit after a 1.5 years to corp strategy and am 100x happier. Is it a comp issue? What are you clearing? If helpful, I got lucky with an offer that pays more than IB and reduced my hours in half. Huge win
