Too Old to be an IBD Analyst
I just turned 28 on September, I know that most interviewers wont ask my age, but the fact is that I'm an experienced candidate (3 Years in Corp Banking/Credit ratings). I think that most of them would think that I don't fit the role of an 'Analyst' anymore. Lately I've been thinking that my best bet would be to do my MBA when I turn 30 at a Semi-Target School and aim to land a summer associate role and hopefully a full-time offer. If anybody could provide some thoughts/insights on my thought process, I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Without it you will close the door on many open positions.
