Hello, I finished my studies at 27, without any unusual breaks (no career change or returning to studies after a gap), and I’m wondering how this might be perceived by recruiters. I know it’s not a deal-breaker, but could it still seem “late” or somewhat unusual? Here’s my background: * 3 years of preparatory classes * Engineering school * One gap year with professional experience * Academic exchange abroad * Master’s degree (M2) * Around 18 months of internships in total Has anyone had a similar path? Did it have any impact during the hiring process? Thanks in advance for your feedback.
