barcap

hi all,

anyone care to comment on how the integration is going? which groups have emerged stronger/weaker? are people feeling a little more settled (adjusted for general market uncertainty of course)?

thx

Hi,

Just wanted to see what peoples' thoughts were on how good the Barcap/Lehman combination will be a year or two down the line. Business area overlap is minimal (save DCM perhaps) and it appears that although a number of high profile bankers have left Lehman, most have remained behind. Also, although Barclays has a 2.7tn balance sheet it still seems pretty levered vs. competitors, with large exposure derivatives. Thoughts on its survivability?

Thanks

Does anybody know if Barclays is recruiting summer analysts in New York?

The app. doesn't list any positions available in New York, but I think it would be unusual if they a) already filled up positions or b) weren't hiring SAs in New York.

I sent an email to BarCap HR but I don't expect a response anytime soon b/c of what is going on w/ Lehman.
