Barclays FIG vs CS M&A/FIG
Current 2nd year ANL (up for A2A in summer) at a MM and in the interview process for those 3 groups mentioned. Any thoughts and considerations for each of them?

Don’t go to CS FIG. Jefferies poached all the top bankers from the group - and anecdotally the culture in the group sucks. Low morale plus insurance, AM vertical very very sweaty. The group was doing well before 2021 and was on the rise but the archegos scandal hit them hard. Would rather go to Jef FIG.
Will someone else comment on Barclays FIG and CS M&A
Thanks for the information. I spoke to one of the ppl there and what they told me is that the senior MDs left to Jefferies are those who made the team sweaty and since they left last year, it actually became quite “good” - I didn’t ask what that means but I assume they mean lifestyle. Tbh I don’t see any meaningful difference between these mid-tier BB shops so would just want to fit in a better culture team with reasonable management and minimum weekend work. My current shop is known for its sweaty nature and old school MDs that do not respect pencil down policy so thats why I want to jump.
