I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Oct 2024
Interview
Technical interview for the first round, the questions were intense and mainly about quant methods and statistics. Few questions were on finance, but only the very basic. Also, some of the behaviour questions were tested, just relax and answer is fine.
