I've heard a couple of rough things about the culture at Barclays. They've been few and far between though. Most of what I've heard is very positive, at least from friends who work there.

Not sure what group you are joining but it seems like everyone at JPM wants to get out of the collateral team.

Having worked in CIB for both JPM (associate) and Barclays (AVP), in that order… I can say that JPM was way more competitive but paid less. Barclays left a bad taste in my mouth and personally wouldn’t want to go back there

What area in JPM

CIB Ops? If so, generally JPM is on the lower side of the pay scale so negotiate well on the way in because it’s easier to get paid on the way in vs moving up year over year.

Mobility is good. Generally supportive management and people willing to help you grow. Technology is poor and manual processes have to make up for that which leads to escalations that you have to deal with. In my experience top performers do get recognized and opportunities open up for them, but that may not necessarily translate into being paid well.

What are the major differences and ‘watch outs’ you would point out to me? Could be anything from culture, to red tape, to compliance etc.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

Do you have advice on how to interview better with Amazon?

My résumé and portfolio are great, and I’ve been asked to interview with Amazon for 4 different teams now. However, it seems like I’m not making it past the first 1:1 interview. 3 out of 4 have resulted in not the right fit for reasons unknown; they don’t provide any feedback either. I have been invited for a new interview today with another team, and I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Any tips on how to do better next time?
