Possible 8 months gap on CV

Hi folks,

Looking for some help here - so basically to start I kinda f*** up my game plan and might very possibly have a 8 months gap on my cv before starting a masters programme at a top school in the UK. Worked in a BB for 2 years in a transaction banking role before that.

Will this be a major red flag on my CV? If so what are some ideas of me spinning that?

Many thanks guys! Appreciate it
