Does age prevent someone from getting into an Associate position? in BB?

ChimpUSMC — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 16:29:08 -0400

I am a former service member (US Marines). I was on active duty for 5 years and 3 years inactive.

I do have an MBA already and presently contemplating to get a Masters in Finance from Baruch College to complement my general curriculum (MBA).

I am interested in IBD and currently I am 31 yrs old. Since my transition did not go as smoothly upon leaving the military, I resulted in getting my MBA later and from a non-target.I know that most BB's are interested in direct hire out of undergrad, with little professional experience for an Analyst program. Given that I am older, I am only targeting Associate positions across the board.

I am particularly interested in re-directing my career into the investment field and I am considering of attending the MS program in Finance at Baruch College.

For all those who are in the field already, does attending Baruch provide the slim chance of getting interviewed by top firms such as: GS, ML, and others.

I know that many of the inhabitants of this site are well-rooted already in the area that I am interested. Do give me your priceless input regarding this matter.
