International Relations Grad Student Looking at Banking and Consulting

I am a current IR grad student doing a masters at a Ivy League university.

I am considering going into banking or consulting after I graduate as I've had a budding interest in both for a while.

Just trying to figure out how to accomplish that?

Thank you in advance for the warm welcome!
