Hi everyone, got a call for Barclays Toronto and was wondering how their recent activity has been. I know they lost some senior bankers and research analysts to Jefferies, but cannot find articles/posts on deals and activity.
What deals have they done recently? How is the culture/growth?
Appreciate the insights, thank you.

Hey, just wondering when you applied and heard back thereafter?
I think the job posting was live on Friday. Heard back today.
Can you give a rough description of your background? I got dinged
Roger shaw deal should be a good one - led by the seniors who recently left to join Jefferies.
You da man! Literally read that in the poached seniors article a couple months ago and did not keep note. Thanks!
Paper Excellence (Domtar) acquisition of Resolute Forest Products
Thanks, that is very helpful!
(Older deal) Brookfield Infra / Inter Pipeline
You da man.
do you have a dataset or sth to search for deals?
I generally find precedents on CapIQ, but I don’t know how to find bank-specific, unless they disclose/post on their site.
Funny because in the interview the VP said tell me about a deal that wasn’t the Rogers Shaw deal haha
They had some big deals but the group is struggling.
Massive exodus recently. I’ve heard hours are incredible but that’s due to a lack of deal flow.
Do you happen to know some deals?
Thank you for the insight.
did you apply for associate or analyst? When is your 1st round of interview?
Cdns are avoiding the Jed Staley fiasco.
The group is collapsing a ton of seniors and juniors have left.
Culture wise, sweaty sweaty hours though a lot of that driven by one of the bankers who dipped. Liked the junior guys I came across though pretty hardo.
Thanks for the insight. So hours might be less sweaty now if it was one banker driven?
And hardo as in?
Any idea on comp?

Regarding the Analyst posting at Barclays, does anyone else have this specific status on the careers site, but has yet to hear back? I figured 'Progress to Next Stage' would mean a screener with a recruiter but guess not. I applied last week.
HR has not reached out to me either. Getting anxious.
When did you apply?
Anybody heard back? Been a week, neither a rejection nor a squeak for me.
Got a rejection email - applied through Barclays website
Thanks for sharing. And sorry to hear that.
Got a Vlaad call that the guys above are talking about?
or directly the email?
Got a call back with offer but not sure how many analysts they are hiring
First round scheduled this week.
I assume you’re schedule for a first round..?
Curious, what’s your background?
I hope you know what they say about assuming.
Someone I know got it. I saw you been harrasing everyone with backgrounds above, so just messing with you.
Analyst? Are you experienced in ib?
Just sharing what I heard.

For 2024? or for earlier this year? I had applied to new grad 2023 for Toronto. I don't recall seeing Calgary.
Case study will be going out over the weekend.
wondering if its for analyst 2 or analyst 1? I heard they only interviewed analyst 2's last week
They interviewed An1 too. Can confirm.
But it was this week.
