Breaking in at 31
Hi all,
So, been thinking about going into IBD for the past year and the more I've read into it the more I'm starting to like the idea of it.
A bit of background: graduated back in '12 and been working for a small company in Europe. Gotten lots of great exposure and moved up quite a bit in four years.
I want to work in continental Europe (think Frankfurt, Zürich or Paris). From my understanding and research, the MBA doesn't hold the same clout here as it does in the U.S. and even in the U.K, not all banks (mostly elite boutiques and BBs) have dedicated Associate recruitment programs. I'm not really looking to work for a BB so in that respect, would a 31 year old analyst in either of these cities be viewed negatively?
