How old is too old for an roles ?

Getting mixed replies from people I have talked to but how old is too old to get AN roles in IB?

I am looking to pivot after about 3 yoe as a engineer, was admitted to a und msf program ( I have seen that they place well in IB). I would come out of the program at 26 with no prior finance experience, would I be too old to be considered for analyst roles ?
