Interview help: Barclays Global Markets Research

What questions did they ask you? Feel free to include fit questions, analytical questions, finance questions, teasers, stress tests, etc.

I go to Upenn if that helps at all.

I really really want to get this job. Does anyone know if there are multiple rounds for this one? I heard it's only one round...don't know if that's true.

This is my first real finance interview..!
