HongKong Barclays FT Intern at IBD/DCM in M&A Advisory Team

Hi guys..

Will be having the interview next week..would appreciate inputs from anyyone.

As far as I know Barclays focuses a lot on fixed-income and their "IBD" is actually nothing about advisory but debt financing...

So are they just starting to grow their M&A in Asia? and what will be the exact role of this M&A Team? (when IBD of Barclays is more abt debt issue)

Anything special to take note of when preparing for this interview?

Would anyone mind also sharing what is special about Barclays....like what has it achieved these years, like acquisitions or big projects going on which could help me in the interview?

Please advice. Thanks....and in case i got some info wrong.
