Hello everyone, I am curious to what the average age range is for an IB analyst and associate? I talked with a family friend who is a director and he asked if I was interested in the career and if so to try and make the transfer to IB as an analyst sooner than later before I am out of the age range of an analyst (I am 23M). Curious to hear everyone’s opinion on this.
