Too old for Point72 Academy?
Anyone have any references of people who got into the academy process in their late 20s? Have a buddy in a tech role thinking about applying but not sure if he’s too old

Also what is that mindset? 0 downside in applying so what's there to worry about.
Agree, that was my initial though too. Nothing like a good sanity check
Late 20s as in 27+?
Yea 28
I don't think that's really too old for Experienced Academy
There is an experienced academy which is full of people in their mid to late 20s. Apply for that
When do applications open for this?
did you try looking on their website, lol
I'm 37 and have applied each year since 2015. Haven't lost hope yet
