Are CS and Barclays FT return offers group specific

I was wondering if the return offers at the CS and Barclays are group specific after SA. Would appreciate any insight into this.

Thanks.

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“I had a really informative and actionable career roadmap with Tim. We went through what I wanted to do longterm and and then we went over the two different paths I was interested in. Tim gave me personal experience of colleagues that made similar steps to the sector that I want to be in. He then provided me with information on the timeline of I should expect when it comes to recruiting and what to do ahead of the time. There was a huge focus on getting a great resume fleshed out, networking with recruiters, current analysts, people who knew people who were hiring. There was a huge emphasis on getting the Series 65 that the company I'm currently working at done before continuing anything else. I look forward to working back with Tim on this endeavor around mid-November. ”

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“Johnathan was really good at checking out my Linkedin and making surfing there were not many issues with it. He seemed to know his stuff very well and he was curious about all the posts that I had liked and he had different tactics to make sure that my linkedin could stand out from the rest and make it very competitive for my 2028 internship. The only criteria I had was minimal and it was that he was a few minutes late but that is not a big deal, I know he is a busy guy but overall he was great.”

Are you asking 'is it possible to switch groups after your summer', basically? I know a few people who did this at CS. I think its contingent on you having a good rep within whatever group you summer in though.

Perspiciatis quod et perferendis nihil sed enim. Aspernatur odio est et nesciunt consectetur beatae architecto. Rerum ut nihil maiores et sed quo.
