26 y/o VC analyst in London. Will likely be made redundant due to COVID and am currently lost as to where I should be looking for my next opportunity. VC would be ideal but funds are barely hiring. I also feel like I am already too old for the conventional grad scheme. Would truly appreciate folks that are further down the line for some guidance.

No, don’t think you’re too old for MSc or MBA. Until 33 or so it’s safe in Europe. Lots of people did same in 08-10, if you’ve saved some money, that’s not a shit strategy.

Did MSc in London 09-10.

I’m 26yo too. Started as a New Analyst straight from uni this June. I see it this way, when I’m 30 I will have 4 years of experience and at least the two degrees I have already. If you have some experience you are good to go for an MBA of Msc Finance. Let alone apply to top tier graduate schemes, go for it!!

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)
