any chances with this qualifications...

hello, im from germany... just got ready with a apprenticeship at a large german bank.. now i want to get some further. i will do a bachelor of science degree with a program called "management and financial markets"... after that i might make a master..there are 4 different ways on that school.. its a top school for banking over here in germany.

well.. after the master i will be 35 years old.. is that maybe to old for starting into ibanking? but i will have about 11 years of sales experience.

my possible ways i want to go:

ibanking/M&A asset management private wealth management / private banking management

any tips whatever.. please leave it into this post or via PM. thank you

Ich denke nicht, aber du kannst nicht sage nie... dass ist wie I-banking ist

try for it is my suggestion

there really is no harm in that, just go for the gold and see what you can get

from my experience, it can be really random at times, and if you believe you have the knowledge, experience, and caliber to be deserving, then go for it. I don't know about the applicability of a 35 year old being an analyst (I highly doubt it), but maybe with your education and work experience you could possibly get an offer as an associate.

All I have to say is good luck and just work your butt off and try for what you want and what you think you deserve.

P.S. I don't really know about any of the fields outside of Ibanking/M&A, so maybe someone else has some insight about those fields regarding your specific situation. Regardless, good luck and I wish you the best.
