Chill. There are still some people even joining in their 40s after MBA. It's not a race at all.

It is older than usual but in 5-6 years once you hit principal level you should feel fine . There is an older minority in each MBB

Average age of MBA students is 27-28. So you are only 2ish years older than the average MBA AC. (This is not a perfect comparison as MBA to MBB pool may skew a bit younger than average, but it’s close enough)

Don’t stress, there are many of us mid 30s. We just can’t tell who the other ones are all the time. Agree with comments above, promotion is quick so it will be a moot point in 4 years.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager.

I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
