Help with decision - Student with no idea what to do IB 2019

Hi all, I recently received an offer from Barclays for the Summer of 2019. I was wondering what people thought about exit ops to megafunds. Though I like the firm, I am more interested in some other firms, however, they won't be able to accommodate me before my early-July deadline. What are your thoughts?

I have been speaking to some other firms, and it looks like I will be able to get interviews at some places but no guarantee I will be able to get other offers.

Background - semi-target, from NYC area.

 

Can’t be that many firms still recruiting that would be substantially better than Barclays - from what I’ve heard GS/MS and Evercore/PJT/Moelis/Perella are basically done. Are you just banking on a couple firms (like Laz and CVP)? If so I’d think that would be pretty risky.

 

I've heard that GS/MS are still saving some spots for August/September interviewing. Also heard that most of the boutiques, besides Lazard and CVP which are in the fall, are done. CS/Citi/BAML/DB all seem to be August too, and those firms seem to be on par w/BarCap.

 

Barclays is a top firm. From what I see just browsing this site, SA recruiting (absolute fucking bloodbath) is wrapping up at most places that one would consider to be "better." However, Barclays is still a very strong BB and I'm sure that if you do well in your internship you could A) be able to network with other BB/EB's or B) secure a return offer and then try to become a top analyst and have early picks at exits. Not an expert by any means haha but just what I could gather from your situation. Good luck bud
