When to discuss grad school with boss
Hey Guys-
Currently 23 working as a Senior Financial Analyst at a BB in their CFO group. Have been in this role 6 months, but also have 3.5 years experience in small business credit underwriting (worked full time through undergrad).
I have come to the realization that trying to break into IB from an executive or part time MBA might be an uphill climb, so recently I have given the idea of doing a full time MBA more thought. Right now, I am thinking of starting grad school in Fall of 2019. At that point I would be 25, have 3 years of corporate finance experience and 3.5 years small business credit experience. My undergrad GPA was a 3.5 from a non-target state school, but with a strong GMAT (680+) I think my resume should be able to get me into some solid full time programs.
While I think this is a good game plan, it is obviously kind of far out. At what point should I communicate this idea to my current boss? We have a great relationship and get along well, but if I bring this up too early, could this turn around and bite me?

What is there to talk about?
Right now (as far as he is aware), my intent is to stay within corporate finance. I have never discussed possibly going to grad school in ~2 years.
