id love to know this too....btw when people say barclays S&T does that encompass research?
mine were all fit, and market related
I interviewed at barclays my sr year - great shop.
at penn, they interviewed separately for sales and for trading, and I did both.
they seemed extremely concerned with fit at the pre-interview reception. in my sales interview, the guy stressed that barclays prided itself on being a smaller shop and that it didn't have room for sub-par performers "like a Citi, BoA, or JPM" (his words). I'm not sure how relevant the emphasis on 'small firm' is today. i'm not sure exactly what they were looking for in terms of fit, but like a lot of s&t programs, they seemed very keen on athletes.
the sales interview focused on recognizing, developing, and pitching investment ideas....you should have an ideal portfolio in mind and know what kinds of investments you'd like to make today.
my interviewer for trading kept emphasizing that trading wasn't always the fast-paced, hyped world that it's labeled as. she talked a lot about the arduous work of pricing exotic securities and gauging market depth. she seemed a lot more interested in fit than in technicals - she asked me 'what is a CDS?' and when I answered correctly, blatantly told me she had to ask a technical.
pm me for info on superdays
this year was two rounds, both with hr, both mostly fit. final had a question like what story are you following in the market...
