First post on this forum, here we go. I am an incoming 2025 sa for Barclays s&t. I was feeling great about my offer until I started seeing all this news around Barclays laying off a bunch of people. Initially, layoffs looked like they were mainly hitting IBD but now I have been seeing that the...

Took an offer for Summer 2025 at Barclays; trying to see what top groups are in the bank. I know things have changed a lot in the bank recently, but previous lists have had it as P&U, Sponsors, NatRes, Healthcare, Tech, and Industrials all being solid, particularly for exits. Wanted to get a pulse...

Has anyone heard back from Barclays from the Full-time Corporate Banking super day on Friday (01/26)? I am not sure what their recruiting timeline typically looks like so I'm not sure when to expect to hear back.

I want to make sure I haven’t missed any, is Goldman the only one that’s closed? Most look like they are due in January?

Computer Science major. I've had multiple SWE Internships at FAANG tech companies. I got a full time S&T offer for Barclays.

Dear All, I have spoken to lots of analysts/associates at Barclays London and PE Associates who just left the firm to understand the bank's dynamics.  The question is: what are the best teams at Barclays that are worth joining? The criteria are quality of dealflow/exits/culture. I have...

Appreciate...

Hey Everyone, I'm an incoming IB SA at Barclays in New York. I am a little scared hearing about the exodus of sorts that has been happening. I have also heard the IB Pay at Barclays is much lower than at other banks. I want to know what groups at Barc would be the best for exits but also comp....

Hi, Last week my application status for Barclays changed from "progressed to next stage" to " completed". The job submission status still says Active. I applied 3 weeks ago. Does anyone know the meaning of these statuses ? I'm not sure if I'm still in consideration or if I didn't get it .

Starting this post to have a dedicated space for Barclays S&T 2024 SA. I had a superday 5/19 and haven't heard anything back. My interview was just an elevator test.

Had a superday for Barclays S&T in NYC on Wednesday. My interviewers said they will get back "in the coming weeks." How long did it take for anyone else to hear back?

Y'all, I want to hear your personal takes on the situation. A lot of people have been speculating and I personally also believe that the parentship with Atlas, that Cascadia underwent, has largely picked up their deal flow as well as prestige, especially within the MM PE shops. Atlas was cofounded...

Referencing the NYC office, don't know if this is the same across all of Barclays' other locations. Policy kicks in October 3rd. The kicker is that the removal of at-home meal expensing includes weekends. Naively thought that some of the post-COVID improvements in lifestyle/perks would be permanent....

Curious how the work hours for FT analyst in corporate banking are versus IB, or if they are about the same?

I applied for Barclays Discovery IB, had a super day and ultimately did not receive an offer. Does this count as an application to summer 2023, and therefore disqualify me from applying to any 2023 IB positions?
