Probably highly dependent on which program you attend (assuming you’re talking about MBA programs). For some banking is the “high status” profession, for others it’s consulting, for still others it’s tech.
I went to state school and do consulting at a B4 - you're right on the money, consulting (especially at Big 4 level) isn't sexy. MBB is a league sexier though, but gets beat out by PE and some good spots at the FAANGs
