Coach
They hired 1st year associates at my firm who were aged 40 who had never worked a corporate job before through a program. My best friend got in at 40 by applying. My other friend after an mba program at 35. I got in at 37 by applying.
In short, it is doable if you’re smart and know your sh!t.
That’s awesome! I really appreciate you sharing this so I can go back to my friend.
According to whose rules? Blindly spreading false information. If your friend really wants it, he/she can reach it by putting in the hard work and having the drive. Ageism doesn’t belong in the workplace and is not tolerated.
I work with more younger folks mid to late 20s. I wasn’t spreading “false” information. He asked for my opinion and I give it to him.
Possible, but definitely not the lifestyle I’d want at that age assuming coming in as a junior
That is also one of the reasons why I told him it will be very hard. Especially when you have kids and a wife at home. People in their 20s are more focused on climbing the corporate ladder.
I know people in BB who are mid 30s and just got in as associates. Tbh it's a huge investment with MBA and heightened risk factor of failure to capitalize on the MBA costs due to age to try for it, but it's been done before. Not sure at that point in my life I'd really want to, since any job background that would let you pivot in with an MBA probably doesn't pay much less and the quality if life is going to sharply decrease for several years as they rebuild their career post-pivot
Yrs it is impossible
Lol. 35 is not too late nor do you need some special background to get in assuming you’re pivoting during MBA. A candidate’s age doesn’t even cross my mind during recruiting—only how they perform during coffee chats and interviews.
