I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Nov 2023
Interview
First contacted by HR and did initial screen. This was followed by a coding assessment. Next had a phone screen with a current trader. Finally a couple rounds in a virtual superday with rest of the team.
I had a lot of questions on Options theory, especially around the hedging of calls and puts, and sensitivities regarding several parameters. I also had questions on volatility models, especially stochastic models, and they impact the pricing of exotic products.
