RBS/Natwest Markets Trading?

Does anyone have any insight into them?

I know they used to be great rates/euro govies traders but can't find much after they rebranded as NatWest Markets. I know core traders have been poached but don't know the current state. Any insight would be helpful.

Would you take a UK FT graduate trading offer? Obviously, they're no BB but would like to know how far down to the bottom they are. Would it stint a move to a BB elsewhere after a few years? What's the reputation on the street?

Thanks.

Sales & Trading Mock Interview

“My mock session with Joyce was genuinely useful and very targeted. Rather than generic advice, she caught specific delivery habits I need to fix before my Superday. First, she pointed out how often I lean on filler words like "like" and "emm", and gave me a clear fix: pause instead of filling the silence. Second, she told me to slow down my pace overall, which should make my answers sound more confident and easier to follow. Third, she flagged that my opening warm-up came across as a bit stiff, and coached me to be warmer and more personable in the first few minutes so I build rapport before the technical part starts. All three points are things I can practice immediately, which is exactly what I needed at this stage of prep. The session felt focused and honest about what needs work, and I came out with a clear practice list. I would happily book with Joyce again for another round closer to the Superday.”
