Hello,

I'm on the older end of the candidate spectrum here (32 when I begin my full-time program). I'm coming from a retail background.

Will my age preclude me from recruitment in a retail consulting firm like Kurt Salmon or a retail division of one of the Big 3? I'm heading into a Top 25 program in the Fall.

I know folks that started at MBB firms in their 30's. Also, in regards to you comments about "a retail division," MBB generally start everyone as a generalist and don't do any practice-specific hiring on-campus. McKinsey BTO and Ops are notable exceptions.
