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?

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
