The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Barclays (Hong Kong) in Feb 2024
Interview
The first round is behavioral in general, like why trading, why company, how much do you know about our desk, containing a little tech questions like par, face value. The interviewer is nice, but they ghosted me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What bid/ask should I offer if a bond is at the risk of default?
Good interview. Really enjoyed it. Questions hard and very challenging.
They gave me some questions to compete and asked me to sit a short test that I quite enjoyed. It was hard though
Everybody in the group was super friendly. Mix of behaviorals and technicals. Nothing too difficult technically. Was referred by an alumni. Lots of questions from the guide no surprises. Made it through 4 interviews no offer.
