Barclays Best Groups 2020

I've seen different threads on this over the last couple year, but the answers are all over the place and outdated. I am an incoming FT analyst and would love to hear updated thoughts on Barclays best groups.

Overall from what I have heard Nat res and P&U are best groups, but what are peoples thoughts on other coverage groups? i.e. Consumer, Healthcare, Industrials, CMG, FIG etc.

Thanks in advance

Pretty much all of the coverage groups are solid and will place into PE if that's what you're looking for. Product side can be weaker. I was very close to signing a Barclays offer but decided on BAML/Citi/JPM because I wanted to be in an M&A group.
