Is IB age restricted?

The scenario is : -Late 20s / Early 30s -Non target grad -Working experience on supply chain

Too late to move ?

My initial thought is yes why bother with an experienced professional if you can have a young fella early 20s with almost same technical knowledge and skills?

Many people on this forum will tell you to get MBA to become a more traditional candidate. My take on this is if you can't network you way in, you probably can't make it in this industry.

Nothing wrong with a 30-year-old analyst, just get fast promoted to aso and spend three years there before VP if you have the tenacity.
