Hello mesh
I turned this year 36. I fly now almost 5 years, -+ 2000 on jet, -+ 2500 tt. My experience is in europe and outside europe. Im one of those guys who started late his training. I was 24. I can perfectly imagine that companies want more experience of an "older" guy.
Anyway, i dont want to drift off to much of topic.
Good luck to the others.
