Author seeks input concerning bankers' lifestyles

I am at the stage of correcting the manuscript of a novel which is not set in the banking milieu but has a main character whose biography I seek to make as believable as possible.

Believability is important!

Basically the question is... how far up the ladder can a woman with a brilliant MBA rise in investment banking/fund management by the age of 30?

I would welcome feedback.

Is this Germany or the U.S.? She probably wouldn't be out of college by 30 if it's set in Germany.

mmm, uni finished about 22, 23 yrs old. needs to work a few years (usually) before being admitted to an MBA programme, graduates at 27, been working post MBA for 3 years. Possible team leader of sales group/middle office, if more processing or 'back office', could be an Assistant VP, or even VP.. If trurly exceptional (with nothing much outside work) then VP or officer with regional responsibility. If in the 'Business' or 'Front Office', maybe mid level trader or complext products.

maybe that's of some use
