If they go in for 2 years and come out to do other things, like many of us did/do, seems like there's not much loss.

Reference point: my McK class had 40 people start about 5 years ago, and today only 2 are still there.

What do people usually do afterward?
I have seen (these are from a broader pool of a couple hundred people +/- 1 year from me): business school, other/real graduate school (e.g., math), private equity, political campaigns (e.g., Buttigieg's), startup founder, startup early employee, tech companies of all roles (commonly biz ops and PM), software engineer, restaurant line cook, large corporations (e.g., McDonald's).

Essentially, the same stuff high-achieving new grads do, but I would say my peers come out a little sharper on communication, operating independently, driving work efficiently, etc.
