Mine is very dependent on when I sell my house. I have been very upfront with my bosses about that. If we put our house on the market in the beginning of May and it sells in a week and we close the end of May then I am going to be gone by then. I dont think I will last much past Mid July, I have a ton of vacation saved up and want a chance to relax. Plus moving will be hectic and expensive.
So my date ranges from May to end of July. If we sell fast the wife and I are planning a road trip, take a month or so and travel around the country while we have the time and no responsibilities.
I dont think taking a month or two off is going to hurt recruiting, especially if you plan on doing something different for a job post MBA.
