Nope. But I am working in the banking sector and know the situation. Also, have many friends and past colleagues there.

Yes, I have already gone through this news, that's why a little concern about the decision of joining Barclays. Is there any recent layoffs happened in Barclays India in the previous round of layoffs?

like

Not in my department. But yes , there have been few lay offs in India too.

If you hold a senior position and quite high salary then probably look for other options. Mid career you should not see much of its impact. For entry level you should be prepared to get no or minimum hikes for atleast 2 years.
If it's a good hike and promotion during the joining then go for it. Most firms would cut costs for atleast 2-3 years. So get the best you can.

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?
