Barclays Increases Base Pay for Analysts

Looks like Analysts in NYK get a bump from 90k to 105k with Analysts in other offices getting a similar raise of ~17% in base pay.

Barclays no longer lowest pay on street?

Bump. Those groups are placed in the Markets division, however, are still considered IB. Interesting to see if they would get raises.

This just cements what many on this forum have started to realize, which is that Barclays is probably the best BB for junior level experience besides GS/MS/(probably) JPM:

  • Execution of M&A done in coverage groups
  • Best culture of any BB
  • Almost all coverage groups have at least 1 UMM/MF PE exit per year, with top groups like Nat Res exiting frequently to MF/UMM
  • Top 4 for M&A in a ton of verticals
  • Poaching rainmakers and clients left and right from weakening European rivals
  • And now, best paying salary on the street
 

If you break down deal volume by product and sector, the numbers look more sober. It's true that capital markets as skyrocketed but m+a has barely moved YoY. There are groups where HALF (yea 50 fucking %) of folks have quit. The salary bump was a direct response to JPM - prior to that, Barclays was late to everything (no COVID bonuses, no meal policies for a year, no guidelines for junior WLB, etc.) 

Don't be fooled by this corporate marketing move. This entire bank is about to turn over once the analyst bonuses hit.
