Idk anyone taking Barclays over PWP. That’s at least from my school though. 

 

Moelis should be 1. I heard their exit opps are so good that some go straight to heaven and meet jesus.

 

It's just that one guy who got an internship at Barclays and now creates an account every other day to show Barclays as one of the top 5 BBs. Hope he gets a return from Barclays for all his efforts.
