Will soon join a credit AM in London as an analyst 2 at 25 years old. I know some people my age in London are already associates, so is the London job hierarchy similar to the US? Appreciate different firms have different titles but so that I understand, does it go Analyst 1/2/3 to Associate 1/2/3 then VP, ED and MD? slightly concerned I am a bit behind schedule, as everything going well I will make Associate after just turning 27. Moved into AM after 1 year of corporate banking (which was not much use) just for context, which puts me at 18 months of buyside experience.

25 is still so young aha. I've met An1 at banks who are 30+. Got to remember MBAs as associates who are much older. Bit of a no problem if you ask me
