How common is it for people to transfer into an IB analyst role after 3 years in the workforce? I hear rumors about “aging out” and am wondering if there’s any negative view towards someone who would transfer in at 25-26 y/o.

I am not getting any response on my posts..I'm feeling depressed due to my bad luck. I have only 1 month noticeperiod left & had only 1 offer in hand with 40CTC. Right now my current salary is too low which is 27LPA with 14 yrs of exp and working as Data scientist. I am getting very few interview calls. Not able to decide whether to join that 40CTC or need to withdraw my resignation. The problem with current offer is job in another location with 3mnts wfh option.
Please pour your suggestions!!!
