Nope
Nope, waiting as well
Nothing
Not to worry, typical Barclays!
July 26th
When did you get that communication?
Anyone hear anything about SA 21 programs?
I haven't heard anything about the Summer associate placement or the location of the internship yet.
Nothing in NA for training or FT is seems
Just got an email to update my resume for group placement, but I can't find a place to do so after clicking the link in the email. Anyone else having this problem?
Analyst or associate?
For summer analyst
What does the email say? Is it to rank your group preferences or just submit an updated resume? Didn't get an email yet
Any Incoming FT hear anything?
Nothing yet.
I've heard nothing yet - guy who said July 26th, where's that from?
Bump anyone hear anything for FT? heard SA got some news.
Nothing yet for me either (Toronto)
Any updates?
Any updates on this, or speculation?
July 26th
Did you get an email?
Jeez so late.
Asked HR. Not official yet and can be changed
Thanks for the info
You guys going virtual or in-person?
They haven’t told us
Anyone heard anything more about this? Virtual or in-person?
Still nothing yet for me
I just wanna know if FT training is in person
Someone in HR thought my start was July 6th, but they weren't sure....
How recent was your information if you don't mind me asking?
Bump
On a different note, is there any news of Barclays increasing base pay for analysts and associates?
I haven't heard anything yet, hopefully some new information comes up soon from barclays and the other BB's
Hey, maybe they'll add a raise with the email where they tell us our start date.
A month ago now they told me I would hear in a few weeks. We should hear soon...
I'm surprised they have not done background checks yet. I have not gotten anything, have you?
No I haven't received anything - do we have to do that again? I did a huge one for the internship, what a waste of time if we have to repeat it...
Jesus Christ, the last I heard from Barclays was in August. No information is starting to get pretty annoying, not even a start date.
Anyone know if they drug test?
They do not
Also is there a FT 2021 gm?
we had one from SA 2020 of like 10ish people from different divisions. Would be interested if there was a larger one too
does anyone want to create one?
I don't understand why I still don't know where I'm working and starting at what date...
If it’s close enough to have to do a background check we should now when we are starting...
I did the internship and haven't heard anything today about a background check, hopefully this means we don't have to repeat that. Definitely would like to hear on our start date though.....
I didn't intern, but have not gotten anything about a background check today. So maybe this does not necessarily mean they will be communicating start date info soon...
Last time background checks were before, during, and after the internship, so it doesn't really tell us much about start date comms yet
Interned aswell and havent received anything about a background check.
July 26th start date for analysts, official.
virtual or in the office?
.
Who sent this email? Never got it. Just signed offer this past week
At least "initial training" is virtual, "technical training" may be in-person, then? Email says "These are usually held offsite but this year they will be hosted virtually allowing you time to join your regulatory and technical training – this will give you more time to focus on your exams before navigating our offices – but don’t worry we will be making time for you to meet with your cohorts and teams; and where social distancing rules allow, we will offer some in-person networking sessions towards the end of your training too!"
What does this really mean? 'allowing you time to join your regulatory and technical training'
Start date July 26th. Guess I've got a bonus month off.
.
Is this NYC or LDN?
NYC
We didn't have to study for the SIE on our own, correct? HR confirmed a few times, but just want to be certain
If HR confirmed, why’re you asking lol
Because every other bank has their incoming's studying for the SIE and series before they get there...
Just received background check
SA or FT
SAs got in April
Which office? FT or SA?
The incoming 2021 FT analysts still don’t know what date they’re starting?
No they do, July 26
We have the date but not much more. Kind of vague email that makes it sound like training will be mostly virtual.
Do the incoming analysts have a group chat set up?
Not that I'm aware of, S&T here
.
Is it true that our training will be 7 weeks long? HR seems to think so
wait did HR tell you this?
Yup. Asked them for details and they said 7 weeks training then you hit the desk. Seems long to me.
any info on when signing bonuses coming in
I got mine way back months ago. Canada office thought
You talking about relocation bonuses?
