Barclays IB?

What is everyone’s gauge on Barclays? Are they on the up? Any ideas on if they’re downsizing or upsizing?

I’m mainly looking at their capital market teams.

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“ My first mock interview with Jorge was a real turning point in my preparation. Although Jorge was fantastic, I struggled throughout the interview and quickly realised how unprepared I actually was, which was quite difficult to confront. However, Jorge's feedback was incredibly valuable, and I left the session with a much clearer understanding of my weaknesses and exactly what I needed to improve. Looking back, I can confidently say that this session completely changed the way I approach interview preparation. I'm really grateful for his honest feedback and guidance!”

Investment Banking Mock Coffee Chat

“Susan was super willing to adapt to how best to structure the Mock Coffee Chats to best meet my needs. For example, we started by going straight into the Mock structure but soon realized that it might be better to do some workshopping / feedback after each portion instead of running through the whole mock at once!”
