What’s the right age to become an Analyst at a BB?

Hey guys so I’m going to be 22 in a couple of months. I graduated last year (3 yr bachelor) and I have since got about six months of internship exp at a MM Boutique. My aim is to get into a BB. How do you suggest I go about this? I plan to do a top MFin either in 2020 or ‘21 and network my way in to FO BB?

I would say that the average in London is slightly higher, maybe 24-25 for A1.

 

The most extreme case I heard is a guy from Hong Kong. Skipped one year in high school(which made it to 5 years not 6), went to UK for college and got his full time offer at the age of 19. Yea fuck that I was still choosing my major whn I’m 19

 

21-25 is the typical age, usually 22 as 99% of analysts come right out of university.

Network for BB now and apply to top MFin in tandem. You're not too old but why wait for 2021 if you can go in 2020
