Bonus Watch ’12: Barclays

Some expectations were fulfilled:

First-year associates got 0 to 100, with most around 60. Heard 60 to 120 for second-years. There were donuts across the board and at all levels – if you were in the lowest bucket, you got zero, associate to MD. This is investment banking coverage.

Good news is base salaries went up on the normal lockstep. Bad news is you get a lot of stock.

    Still think you're too good to write some decent tags, eh Matty?

    I heard Barclay's is rolling out Bagels to the majority along with their classic "It's a privilege
    to work here" / "Just be happy you have a job" speach.

    An 18 year old Italian girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period for 2 months. Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit. The test result shows that the girl is pregnant. Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, 'Who was the pig that did this to you? I want to know!'

    The girl picks up the phone and makes a call. Half an hour later, a Ferrari stops in front of their house. A mature and distinguished investment banker with grey hair and impeccably dressed in an Armani suit steps out of the car and enters the house.

    He sits in the living room with the father, mother, and the girl and tells them: 'Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem.

    I can't marry her because of my personal family situation but I'll take charge. I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life..

    Additionally, if a girl is born, I will bequeath a Ferrari, 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beach-front villa, and a $2,000,000 bank account.

    If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of deferred compensation plans and a $4,000,000 bank account.

    If twins, they will receive a MBS derivative and $2,000,000 each.

    However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?'

    At this point, the father, who had remained silent holding a shotgun, places a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him.

    'You gonna try again.'

  20. Posted by Bob Diamond | February 10, 2012 at 3:28 PM

    35K stub is better than it was in 2001-2003, when it maxed out at 25K. Shouldn’t be any complaining there.

I seem over each night and I ‘m proud to say that you obtained it!The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesn’t disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I know it was my option to read, but I in fact assumed you’d have something intriguing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about some thing that you could resolve if you weren’t as well active looking for attention.

    With every little thing which seems to be building throughout this subject matter, your viewpoints tend to be rather radical. However, I beg your pardon, because I do not subscribe to your whole suggestion, all be it exciting none the less. It would seem to us that your remarks are generally not entirely justified and in reality you are your self not thoroughly confident of your argument. In any case I did enjoy reading it.
