I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY)
Interview
I interviewed with global head of rates strat. The interview went on-site.
The hiring manager was nice but apparently he did not have a clear idea on what candidate/profiles he was after.
The interview contained multiple questions about my resume but nothing in depth

Interview
