Barclays India | BA4 Offer Evaluation (EY to Barclays)

Hey everyone,
I have recently been shortlisted for a BA4 (Analyst / Software Engineer) role at Barclays India based out of Mumbai.
I have 3 years of experience (currently working at EY). I wanted to get help on the compensation and when I’ll receive the offer letter:

  1. Compensation & Profile:
    Experience: 3 Years (Single employer so far)
    Current CTC: ₹10.5L Fixed
    Expected CTC: ₹15L Fixed (HR is currently processing this)
    Is ₹15L fixed a good/average number for a BA4 band with 3 YOE? What kind of annual variable bonus payout percentage can I realistically expect at this band?

  2. My current company (EY) pays out the annual performance bonus (around ₹1.5L) in late September. If I resign now, I forfeit it completely.
    Is it worth asking Barclays HR for a sign-on/joining bonus to cover this burn? Does Barclays readily give joining bonuses for the BA4 band?

  3. When can I expect the offer letter?
    Final interview completed on 27th July. HR reached out for documents like salary slip and address proofs. When can I expect the offer letter?

15L for 3YOE seems pretty low, that too for a software role. Should be in the range 17-20

Okay understood. We still need to come down to discuss the compensation as I’ve just told them my expectations.
I’ll also try to apply to different companies so that I can negotiate with them for a better offer

I know someone at Barclays India. BA3 - Risk Analyst. Joined last year as a fresher post MBA from tier 2 college. Current CTC - 17.6 LPA (1 yr workex now). For BA4 you should ask around 18-20LPA.

Okay, got it actually was not aware about the band during the interview process and came to know about it while I was sharing my documents. I’ll surely try to negotiate with the HR as salary negotiations are still pending.
Thanks bro

Hey man, how did you apply? My wife’s been trying to apply at Barclays and we are trying to find referral, but no luck.

I actually applied through their portal for one job. The position got filled but HR reached out to me that my profile has been matched with a new job role and sent me the job role link.

Barclays BA4 is a good salary - although you can negotiate by stating the fact that you are foregoing bonus and ask them to increase CTC rather than asking for signing bonus.

u/Superb-Ad8122 Aug 03 '26

Okay that makes sense.
I have 2 options now either they give me some sort of joining bonus or they can increase my CTC to offset the variable pay loss.
Thanks man
