Barclays v. RBC for SA S&T

Received summer offers to both Barclays and RBC in NYC for Sales and Trading. Thoughts on each firm? Looking for somewhere I would be able to grow most quickly and learn the ins and outs of the business best.

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“Javier was really helpful throughout the entire resume process. I can tell that he used his experiences to help me optimize my resume. The back and forth asynchronous emails were helpful as well; his comments were detailed and told me exactly what and how to fix the issues. On call, not only did we talked through my resume, but he also answered more general recruiting questions for me and gave solid advice. I definitely feel more confident in my resume after this call. I would definitely work with him again!”
