How old is too old to go to school and get hired?
When is it too late to go to school and try and break into the industry?
Is 30-35 too late? I was in the military and did other stuff and was in my late 20s when I finally started undergrad.
30-35 is okay. you'll be fine.
You should look into the Veteran's programs that are offered by many banks. Good place to start networking
I second this. I know a bunch of people who did this.
I think you're in a different position considering that you're a veteran. Many banks have veterans programs so there are definitely veterans out there that would be more than happy to network with you and help you out.
The question is more whether you want to be an associate in your mid to late 30s
30-35 really isn’t too late even if you aren’t military. For military guys that’s probably average. And military people are considered diversity for both MBA admissions and bank recruiting.
Banks do not consider veterans to be diversity, at least not in the summer analyst pipeline.
This is incorrect. I'm a vet involved in recruiting at my bank
I know several military guys (and several non-military), all 30-35, who are IB analysts and in other entry level high finance positions, you'll be fine. My school has a special program for students with different backgrounds so I see a lot of it. Also, network with the veterans at the banks and take advantage of their vets programs. You'll be in a good spot and you'll get a lot of support. You got this.
My VP is not ex-military but he joined when he was 37 as a MBA associate
