The World’s Youngest Investment Banker

Meet Estephe Corlin, a 14 year old Material Science & Engineering Student from Imperial College London, who just landed a position at BNP Paribas London.

Why Banking?

Estephe: “I find investment really interesting as it involves using analytical skills and a lot of maths which is really fun and challenging. I also really enjoy researching and learning about different companies (also learning all about IPOs, Stocks and Bonds).”

Future Aspirations

Estephe: “I still have 3 years until my degree ends.. but I have really enjoyed this past week in Equity Capital Markets at BNP and I find finance really interesting so that is definitely something I will be considering, although I haven’t learnt much about other areas in finance (for example M&A, Asset Management & Trading)”

Background
