I applied in-person. I interviewed at Barclays in Mar 2025
Interview
Interview with the hiring manager and his supervisor in some dingy room that was not suitable for meetings. Neither of the interviewers greeted me when I entered the room. One of them did not even once looked at me during the interview. They came late and clearly had no interest in being there. It was obvious that the role had already been given to an internal candidate but they had to please HR.
Questions regarding basic knowledge of trading and accounting. Going through the CV and specific questions about education and previous experience. Interviewers may help answer the questions or explain something that you might not be able to know.
