Hey all,
I've looked around at past threads and was able to gather that the top groups at Barclays are:
Is this up to date, if so what makes them so strong? Anyone have details on the other groups at Barclays and how strong they are like CMG/TMT, LevFin, ECM? Going through some preliminary group selection due diligence, and would like to find a group to build a career in (not exit to PE)

I'd say after your top 3, it is a toss-up between most other coverage groups all things considered- I'm thinking culture, deal-flow, and exits. I would say FIG and Tech fall below the others like Healthcare, CMG, Industrials, Sponsors, etc.
CMG and FIG- great culture, solid deal flow HC and Industrials- long hours + decent exits Sponsors- good culture + decent exits, very small group (4 analysts per class) Chemicals, Tech, and RE- avoid avoid avoid
Avoid product groups at Barclays including LevFin and capital markets if you want more M&A and modeling work.
Interesting and very helpful. Thanks! Do you know how large the other groups are? (ie how many interns or analysts are in power, cmg, etc. every summer)
check out the recent barclays to MM PE thread. OP would surely answer any of your questions.
For sure. Just wanted a new thread w/ focus in case others were unlikely to click into that thread at this point
CMG, C&R, and Sponsors are the smallest with ~4-5 per class NatRes, HC, and Power have ~6-8 per class Industrials and Fig have ~9 per class Tech and LevFin have ~10 per class Chemicals have ~ 4-7 per class Rest I'm not too certain
I thought their chemicals group was the top group on the street?
No it's definitely Power & Utilities
That's not what I meant. I meant their chemicals group was the top chemicals group on the street.
