I have just started preparing for GMAT, I am 31. I am targeting fall of 2025 batch which basically means, I will be 33 by then with a work ex of 8 years. I have already done by masters and bachelors and was hoping to change my workstream from Consulting to PE/IB which I am finding challenging right now. Are there people in this age bracket and work ex at top US Bschools/European Bschools?

Hi. There are totally people with that kind of work experience and age. Eight years is the upper bracket for the US but it’s fairly common in Europe.
You could consider one year programs but those move quite fast there’s more risk without an internship.
However, you can totally target NBA programs that are strong and finance starting from Darden and Johnson all the way to Wharton and HBS. not as versed in European programs and recruiting but I am sure you will find some such as LBs and Judge and Said and HEC.

Talking about older applicants, last year one of my mentees made it to Tepper 2 MBA last year at the age of 34. Another made it to HEC Paris at the age of 33. Yet another one made it to the Olin 2Yr MBA at 36, so it's not impossible. However, after a one-year MBA in the US, it can be difficult to switch to PE/IB if you do not make an effort to get some experience through internships before starting the MBA and build your network so that you can switch smoothly after the one-year MBA. You need to research and understand what is right for you. Many older applicants (internationals) realise that a two-year US MBA will give them more time to develop and prepare themselves for the US job market, which is why they do not compromise with one-year MBAs. Think about what skills you have and then find the right B-schools that make sense for you.
