UK uni students - 22/23 years old straight out of undergrad

EU students typically have more experience and do a masters so its not uncommon to start at 25/26

 

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that the majority of people get into Investment Banking around the age of 22 or sometimes a bit later around 26-27. This can vary depending on individual circumstances such as education, internships, and other factors. Remember, it's not a race, it's a marathon. Keep swinging from those branches, buddy!
