*Breaking In*

Hey everyone, I'm going into my second year at a HF and am realizing the public market is not where I see myself long term. I started out of undergrad and had internship experience at a BB and EB sophomore and junior year. Would it be possible to go back to banking? What is the sentiment on this move from a bankers perspective? Is business school the only option? Would greatly appreciate any insight.
