Expect the three rounds to be split into behaviorals, resume based questions, and technicals (common interview brain teasers). I’d make sure you have your answer down for why pubfin and what is pubfin, and try not to sound too generic. Wouldn't go too deep into bond math, but try to get a high level understanding of how muni bonds are priced (MMD + spread), types of muni bonds (GO vs. revenue), tax-exempt vs taxable, maybe refunding/advanced refunding, and be able to talk about covid trends in diff sectors of pubfin. Hope that helps. Good luck!
Had a couple of superdays in PubFin so far, pretty much this although I'd say 90% of the questions I had were resume-based or behavioral. The rest are a mix of brainteasers, technicals, and market-based questions like "Where do you expect interest rates to go in the future".
By brainteasers do you mean probability/statistics based questions? Appreciate all the advice!
It could be a probability problem, but in my experience, it's the typical ones from the guides like "how to get 4 gallons from 3 and 5 gallon bucket" and "the lilypad doubles" brainteaser question. I didn't get an offer but I'm happy to help if you have any other questions or want to dm me.
Has anyone heard back from the superday?
Not yet, howd ur interview go?
Not sure. Wasn't able to answer the brain teaser so that sucked! What about you?
Did you get the cube brainteaser?
Yeah! How was your interview?
Any updates?
none on my end.
Aside from the probability question, how do y'all think you did??
Anyone get an offer yet? I haven't heard back

Expect hours a bit less than traditional IB with the Housing team having one of the more lenient hours (60-70 hours) and Transportation and Healthcare being more demanding. (70-80 a week)
Is Barclays Pub fin comp for analysts in line with traditional IB?
is there overtime?
Is it safe to assume that if we haven’t heard back yet are we dinged? It’s been one week! So confused.
i emailed HR and they told me i got waitlisted. Should hear back in two weeks
Did HR reply quickly? It's been two days since I emailed HR.
Have any non-targets received offers or been placed on the waitlist?
i am a non-target and was on waitlist
did you get off the waitlist?
