6-8YOE at sub-scale SM LO going to MBA to change geos, but am i too old?

I have 6-8YOE at sub-scale developed markets equity SM LO ($200-300MM book) in a non-US EU UK country (senior equity analyst & partner). However, I want to try to land a better, similar seat in the US or UK after a CBS / Wharton / Booth MBA (could be LO or L/S). But I'd be 32 when I graduate. Is that too old for post-MBA analyst recruiting, even with 6-8YOE at the buyside prior? Is that a good bet overall? Assume I'm a decent analyst and have a good track record
