If this is a duplicate post for Barclays London 2026 please tell me as I was not able to find one for them
bump any update for 2026 full time?
Applied to Cap markets summer London - mine moved to preliminary conversations. Not sure if this just means I've beaten the min benchmark, or if I'm shortlisted for a TI.
pretty sure people have got rejection emails after OA too so would imagine that preliminary conversations means you will get TI
screening for tests or whatever means your CV was not picked up I think.
can anyone confirm? I want to know whether I have passed OA or not even lol
I don't think automatically means TI, honestly it could just mean that you've beaten benchmark. Wdym CV not picked up?
Preliminary conversation means they are screening your cv and expect to hear back within 2 weeks (maybe longer). Last year many got TI after preliminary conversation status but also many got rejection after waiting months without any TI even tho they had preliminary conversation in their status.
But then again they moved to workday last year so it's hard to tell this year what it means
Source? How do you know? From what I saw last year for summers, everyone I spoke to who had preliminary convo status, got a TI (or got fast-tracked to AC for S&T)
My status changed to preliminary conversation today (IB summer analyst)
same
was stressing for no reason lmfao
Anyone know if/when s&t summer and credit research summer are opening?
For s&t it's usually 2/3 weeks after ib role together with tech roles. You can expect it next week.
(No idea about credit research role)
Apparently 1st round TI out for IBD Grad London. Assume they will be doing recruiting alongside SA, given both start in June/July. TI was with an Associate. From what it sounded like, a bit informal and to "discuss their application".
Also coincides with that applications opened just over 3 weeks ago which is the rough timeline for 1st rounds to be coming out
Hey do you know anything about S&T ft?
Yea I applied for IB in london too and mine is still "Preliminary Conversation" but i haven't got a telephone interview yet (assume thats what TI means lol) guess im cooked
Is AC out?
Not yet
Did anyone hear back after the 1st round for the dubai off-cycle?
how long since your 1st round?
anyone heard back after the preliminary conv for the ibd grad London?
Nope - I had my 1st interview 1 week ago for Grad IB
A
