Hi fellow humanity,
I am starting to prepare for my GMAT. However, i keep on thinking if I have passed the right age to do an MBA. I am 29 years old, a manager within the Big 4. Based on my social circle, I feel I am at least 3-4 years late. Any thoughts?

If it makes you feel any better, I am 31 and my exam is in 11 days (gulp). I've been severely underemployed (by the admission of all of my previous bosses, including my current one) and more importantly to me, severely underpaid for years now. My career trajectory/title means little to me (outside of helping to be able to get into B-School) - the amount of money I make at my job is everything to me. I've given up hope on ever getting to do work that I enjoy, so it became a binary question to me: assuming I will always hate the type of work that I do, would I rather have more money or less money? The choice became simple to me after that. If I can somehow get paid well and find work that is fulfilling to me - well, that would just be the ultimate cherry on top.
I've had job interviews in the past at companies that I've dreamed of working at where the recruiters told me that I couldn't have really interviewed any better but that the hiring manager would likely not give me any real consideration without an MBA from a top 15 program. You already work at a prestigious firm so the way you view the value the MBA may be radically different than from the way I do - which is to say, a lot of this is subjective and very much an introspective consideration.

No. You have not not passed the age for MBA. There are many MBA students in their forties (40s).
