M&A in coverage groups,recentlybumped pay to makeit highestBBbase, good culture (great in comparison to other BB), strong exit opps (UMM/some MF), growing in Europe
Could be wrong butBarclayssounds like a great place to be as a mid tierBBand would definitely not categorize it as a lowBB(ex.UBS,DB)

Barclays has always been considered a strong mid-tierBB. Anyone putting it on the level of UBS/DBneeds to stay off the weed.
I mean I agree, i've never seen it as a low tierBBbut I see people putting it as the mid-low tierBB(barely above or even below CS) which I think is crazy
I would put Barclays in the tier ofBofA
True, I'd also put Barclays along with BofA when ranking from the perspective of a junior banker. League tables sometimes show Barclays slightly behind the others, but recently have also shownBAMLahead of MS, which isn't the most accurate way to think about quality of analyst program. Like you said, deal flow + exits (and now comp) is all better than the rest of the mid-tierBBsexceptBAML. Personally I'd take it over any non-GS/MS/JPM.
Yes, it's very underrated on this forum.
Would add to your list that 3 of theBBsranked higher than them consistently in the M&A league tables (BofA,Citi, JPM) also have balance sheets 2-3x as large globally which allows them to get M&A credit by offering very favorable financing and other products extra large balance sheets can accommodate. Barclays has a much smaller asset arsenal with which to do this, although they also use theBSto their advantage.
1) It is not highestBBbase;JPMand Citi are as high.
2)IBis not just M&A
3) What does 'good culture' even mean?
4) WhichBBdoes not have those exit opps for top tier talent?
5) WhichBBis not growing in Europe this year compared to past years?
At time of posting citi hadnt bumped + lowerBBdon't exit toMFanywhere near as often as mid-topBB
I'm gonna be honest, talk to bankers at Barc and it becomes pretty clear pretty quickly that they lack the toxicity/ego/snakeyness found at pretty much every other bank. Not true for everyone in all groups and there are good people at everyBB, but at my top target's networking events it was night and day imo.
I've heard such things as well, someone I know described Barclays as fratty in a good way

Kinda suprised you put Barclays in its own category ahead of BofA but I agree with basically everything
By what metric?
barclays coverage is underrated
barclays product is overrated
Are they really growing in Europe? I thought they have beef with an activist investor who wants to scale backIB
the activist investor edward bramson has sold his stake in barclays
Oh I wasn't aware. I know the CEO wanted to grow, so great for them.
The ranking crap on this forum is done to death. Barclays is an excellent place to start one's career, regardless of how freshmen in college want to endlessly "rank" it against Citi,CSandBAML, which are all also great banks.
Anyone can shed light on BarclaysERdiv inNYCand London
Barclays bonuses are below otherBBs(have heard some stories where there was a meaningful haircut). The people are generally nicer though.
I've always heard that BarclaysNYChas good culture, and from experience and friends know that Barclays Canada has good culture too.
I thinkBBsare just underrated in general on this forum now compared to boutiques. Especially good groups at those midBBs一样好吗top boutiques placement wise (something I've realized working and generally just checking out goodPEshops etc). You'd think from reading this website thatBB就像bamlor barcarent that good but they are excellent, and they are still household names (e.g. sports sponsorships etc)Idk I think this post matters a lot for those people who end up not thinkingbamlbarc etc aren't 'good' banks or they're not happy w them. Who shoot only for "top boutiques", and maybeGS/JPM/MS though they lag behind if they don't get those top boutiques. Obv there are reasons for that but there are 'small' groups w good experience… groups that don't do pitching atBBs就像Barc, and groups with very good placement too.I have mentored / spoken w kids who have that top boutique or bust and don't even apply seriously toBAML/ barc for example and it's not uncommon bc of this website. I remember a recent ranking that had shops like lion tree or Gugg above barc/bamland I think that's delusional. Are ppl forgetting how good these banks are? 100%, especially the 'prospects' that do the rankings lol
Lmao I saw that thread. Like 7 of his top 8 banks wereEB.
+1 SB, amazing take. Top groups at Barc as % of the analyst class place equal to if not better than mostEBclasses.
Hi, I'm a Vietnamese graduating from a non-target university in the US with 1+ years experience working in M&A investment banking boutique in Vietnam. I plan to apply for a Singaporean investment banking position in 1 year (so totally 2+ years working experience in IB Vietnam). I am taking the first steps in prepping myself for the Singapore application. Can you help guide me through the steps I need to take to prepare for such applications? What would be my chances of getting accepted? What would be my angles of breaking into SG IB? I see most of the comments are regarding fresh grad applying but not so much about 2+ year-Vietnam-IB Analyst making the jump to SG. Thank you very much!
hey man create another thread, you'll more likely to receive more responses; don't spam an unrelated thread i.e. this one
does anyone know which group has weaker deal flow, mostly does pitching and so to avoid/not to prioritize during group placement process?
