I am almost 28, but looking to make a career change to equity research. I currently work in the PWM space but as of late, my interest here has started to fade. I have completed the first two levels of the CFA and hope to have the charter next year. Am I too old to break into equity research? What else can I do to make this move happen?

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Definitely not too old, research is less structured when it comes to that. The difficulty will be breaking in without more relevant experience (i.e. something more analytical/research oriented). Not impossible, but might need an MBA or another job in between that is a better lead-in to research.
MBA even with CFA?
