Older candidate applying for Finance Phd (40)

upstreamer · 发表于 2012-7-16 00:33:15

I was told I have a strong profile for a top 25 schools except my age. When I graduate (if I get admitted, of course) I probably will be 45-46. Is there a still chance to still get a tenure tracked position at a decent school then.

Please advise. Many thanks.

Well, if I retire at 65, then I have 25 years to do research, that is pretty good.

I am also a CFA. However, I like read journal of finance way better than read anything CFA related.

I know I am late in the game, even if I get admitted and graduated, I will subject to ageism when looking for a job. But I thought about doing Phd when I was 30, I didn't do it and I regret now. I don't want to regret again when I am 50.

这个人读phd之前也有好几年业界经验，不过开始读的时候可能30左右。如果我是录取委员会的，我唯一的担心就是年纪大了能不能有足够的创新力。

毕业tenure都55了，再混十年就退休了，您老这又是何苦呢。

liang is interesting. Want to try different career after making a lot money. Everything is becoming easier without financial burden and family obligation.

Pretty difficult, but not impossible. Maybe check Jianzhang Liang from Stanford, although his experience is very difficult to replicate

真心佩服啊~

你可以先咨询一下愿意给你写推荐信的那几位老师吧，原来学校的老师也可以试着问问，他们应该经验更加丰富

要是年纪不大的话这背景很强啊，申下贝反正也不会损失什么
做到VP上不去了吗
这个年纪是不是没有回国发展的动力了呢
