Not sure there’s an acceptable age per se, but I think most of our MBA hires fall into the 27-35 range. I have met interns married with kids already. No one really cares if you’re older than average as long as you’re okay with the fact that you’ll often be managed by people younger than you.

Hello Fishes,

I am Indian Chartered Accountant with 3 years of PQE in Audit and Assurance. I am looking for a job in US or Europe in Financial reporting. Please suggest me the best way to apply there and if there is any other certification that I should do.

I am studying for MBA and need 3 books. They are very expensive to buy, so I am wondering if any of you have access to a soft copy that you can share.
