Hey everyone, I’m working as a Market Analyst with a strong background in macro economics doing modeling and forecasting and I want to eventually make the switch to investment banking. Could anyone give me some insight on how you made the switch or any insight into the industry that a novice should be aware of?

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
