Just wondering but why are you still in a postdoc position? My previous field was Medicinal Chemistry and had I continued with my Ph.D, I would have gotten it by 26/27. Post docs are usually for 2 years in Med Chem I believe.

By mid-30s you are just starting your tenure-track (assuming you get some semi-permanent position at a university or research institute) I'm currently doing a PhD [quantum chemistry] and this is basically my expectation for the future.
