Should I apply for a 1st year analyst position?

Hi, by way of introduction, I'm a 1st year consultant at a Big Four (Tax Division), working at Financial Services Transfer Pricing. My work mostly involves financial and economic analyses (profitability, mark-ups, etc), industry research, and so on. I'm currently studying for CFA L1, since my objective is to break into AM in 2015 (starting application processes in 2014), and at that time I'll be 25 and hopefully studying for L2, with 3y of experience.

Do you think I'll be still eligible for a position as an entry analyst, or will I be too "old"?

Thanks in advance!
