I’m thinking about taking the gmat/applying to grad school over this next year. I am 23 years old and have a little over a year of experience in operations at a investment bank. Is it worth it/ what type of positions would I be able to get post-grad?

You might want to hold off an extra year. I’ve heard B-schools see 3YOE as the magic number where your acceptance odds really shoot up.

Available positions depends on what school you go to. M7 vs T50 will yield drastically different opportunities

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management. They both have the same requirements (generally speaking) including a capstone course that serves as a field immersion course with the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. 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?

Yesterday was my first appraisal. I was welcomed and told that I am not eligible for promotion. But then again it was acknowledged that the work that I do is great. The offered me a hike of 21% after 1year 2 months of work experience. I was initially hired at 6 lpa. I did not rebut and accepted it. What are the things I could have asked? Should I have negotiated more? What are the things that I can focus on in the next appraisal cycle? Want to know the thoughts of the experienced professionals.
