Broke into IB but not sure if I’m qualified for IB, do I have any chance of breaking in?

I went to top tier school, broke into IB and have 30 years of experience working at the best bank in the entire world. However, I’m not sure I’m qualified for IB at this point given the slowdown and competitive recruiting landscape.

Am I too late for recruiting? Should I give up? What do you all think??
