Barclays Increases Base Pay for Analysts

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

• Has 1/3 the balance sheet of Bofa and Citi but still manages to win similar amounts of advisory business, relying more on their strategic advice

• And now, best paying salary on the street
