Did anyone have a Laz int and not receive a decision at the end of the call? Some people got instant acceptance to AC, but I was told I'd hear back in 2 days, which I'm assuming is just a delayed rej :frown:

does the 'front office' at barclays include retail/business banking? or is it just the investment banking part?

Both retail/business banking and IB part are included in the front office SW = they are customer facing.

SPRING WEEK:
There are three different Barclays Spring Weeks 'Front Office' (FO), Technology and Business Functions, see below.

Front Office = IBD (Corporate Finance, M&A, FIG, Leveraged Finance, DCM, RSG, ECM), Global Markets (Sales, Trading, Research & Strategy) and Personal & Corporate Banking (Personal Banking, Corporate Banking, Barclaycard and Wealth & Investment)

Technology = obvious

Business Functions = Compliance, Finance, Operations, Risk and Treasury

BUSINESS AREAS:
There are three different business areas Investment Bank, Personal & Corporate Banking Barclaycard, Business Functions. See the link below, (technology comes under business functions even though it has a separate SW)

yea it was alright. It was 30 min though and a bit more in depth than other peoples (dont ask me why lol :biggrin:

)
But the questions weren´t hard in particular, just the phone quality was insanely bad

Mine was 17 mins.. I can probably expect a rejection. Mine was horrible.

GS will start inviting to interviews next week, so you guys can chill.
CS maybe doesnt look so promising, but you never know.

"Your friend is doing something wrong, would you rat like a bitch or be a real thug brotha?"

I actually have an interview at CS the 29nd and was given it maybe 5 days ago, so dont really know there. But a friend spoke to HR at GS, most interviews will be given out during next week. Only people who had other offers and contacted GS personally got an interview I would reckon.
