Hmmm, while Barclays market cap is higher than MS' (72.96B vs 61.19B), it seems to me that MS stock price has been trending up in the last year, ~20 to 31.36 while Barclays' not so, ~18 to 18.13.

MS:

Unless you're talking about BARC.L which is trading now at 270.35 but that's a drop from it's price a year ago at 276.

Unregistered Trader bias here. My conclusions come from a combination of trading revenue and prestige.

1. Trading Revenue
GS and JPM are usually tops but MS lacking.
( How Much Trading Revenues Do U.S. Banking Giants Rope In Each Quarter? -- Trefis )

2. Prestige
I know this may be a bad indicator. But it should still count for something.
MS is at 6. Barclays at 20.
( Vault.com|Best Commercial Banking and Financial Services companies to work for|Vault Banking 50 )

Okay, but Barclays better than MS in trading, I'll give you that.

Actually, department more important. I ask because I feel that 2 to 3 years in ANY foreign IB would already equal $5k+ with maybe the exception of HR and Compliance departments.
i'm just surprised where u got your tiering???

Barcaps is below Morgan Stanley/JP Morgan according to you? Just because it's american doesn't means it's good...take a look at their finance and stock price over the year and we'll talk again...

A without a doubt. Shouldn't join a startup as an employee. If you must join, join as a co-founder with good equity AND high pay.

Job hop with 10% increment

My current drawn is $4xxx basic in a financial industry. There is a foreign IB bank which is offering me with 11%increment. It's not up to my expected salary so I'm having thoughts whether I should leave. I have about 2-3 yrs experience. Should I move?

I'm happy with my current company. Jobscope wise is about the same.But the bank has a bigger branding so I'm wondering if its good for my résumé in the future.

Looking for advices of any. Thanks
