"Unwritten" age limit for DESO
Wondering if anyone knows the "unwritten" age limit for DESO, through experience or otherwise.

I've tried to find it in the forums and I've heard some people say 29, but then I've heard people who are 32 get in. Anyone have any stories to share on this topic?

For DESO I am guessing mid-30s?? In the Cadet scheme they've taken ppl in their 30s so judging from that....

with RA65 in place, it should be higher than some of the figures mentioned above...

Most seem to be in their 30s, but ranges from early 20s to early 40s. There is no limit, as you'll still be doing 20-30 years in the company.
