Should I Take the Sabbatical leave?

[a_rin]

I'm heading to Marshall School of Business for my Masters in Finance, aiming to break into M&A or advisory consulting. I currently have almost 2 years of experience in core accounting at a leading IT firms in India. My company is offering a sabbatical, which would guarantee my current job upon my return.

Here's my dilemma: I'm worried about the US job market uncertainty for finance students. If I take the sabbatical, will I need to disclose this to potential summer internship companies in the US? Could this hurt my chances of getting a pre-placement offer? The sabbatical offers job security back home, but I don't want it to jeopardize my US career goals. Any thoughts or similar experiences?

No idea for the sabbatical portion, but this is not the best forum for this. WallStreet Oasis or Reddit or something is better for M&A people, and have more visitors and so a better chance of answering the non-quant related question.
