Barclays Equity Research

Barclays had no equity research until the Lehman purchase. Everyone in the US in ER will be ex-Lehman or hired since the integration. In Europe they have hired a lot of ex-Lehman and people from other banks as well. I would imagine that it is not a growth area in terms of headcount in the US because they took in entire teams from analyst to MD.

Lehman's ER team was the best on the Street. Like fp175 said, it's likely all Lehman, so definitely a good place to go.

anybody know if Barclays has a higher or lower full-time offer rate for its summer interns than other banks?

My friend at Lehman ER now works at Barclays. I don't think they cut tons of people during the transfer though I could be wrong.

they basically took the lehman research reports and pasted over the lehman logo with a barcap eagle.

and they changed it from green to blue.

for awhile the research analysts still had lehman email addresses.

The world has changed. And we must change with it.

research is always facing the cost cutting axe, but barclays seems to be doing relatively well amid this crisis so it might be a good place to end up. in this economy, however, you never know.

i know a few ex lehman at barcap who are happy, and one ib at barcap (ex lehman) who got the axe. i dont know squat about lehman research so take it with a grain of sand

Does anybody know how the second round interview format of Barclays/Lehman equity research? I am a technology analyst who passed first round last week where there were a lot of technical questions. Just want to get a flavour of what might be in the second round.The manager dropped a hint saying it might be heavy,dunno what that means.

bump

know the accrual ratio
