Crazy to see how many MDs have left Barclays since April, just saw Jefferies new release. They poached the Head of Financial Sponsors, and co-head both previously at Barclays until now.
Thoughts on Barclays future with all MDs leaving? Obviously always a BB but interesting times for them.

sigh of pain… That’s nice
They are bottom 3 BB with DB/UBS.
Rankings/dealflow puts them at 6 for BBs which I think is high, but i guess they are solely going off of deals and fees
That's for the entire year, and they are barely above UBS. DB isn't even top 10, but I think it's fair to say Barclays/UBS is the same tier at least Global league table-wise. Also, keep in mind Barclays seniors leaving has been recently, so it might take a bit longer to be fully reflected as the deals those seniors worked on earlier in the year still count for this year's rankings. Realistically, I would still guess it would be 6th or 7th among the bulges(assuming Citi restructuring doesn't somehow have it joining UBS/Barclays).
Edit : re-looked at league tables, they were also below UBS last year in terms of global M&A deals. I think they remain in that place now.
This is why I hate recruiting two years in advance I had no idea the economy would be shit and then Barclays would also go to shit 😭
