      Off-Cycle (PhD) Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Barclays

      Interview

      I applied for the off-cycle internship online. Received the online test invitation within one week. The OT was normal, including some numerical questions and some behaviour choices. Got the video interview immediately after OT. The VI includes only general questions, no computations or case analysis. I guess it is because I applied for a Quant role at the PhD level, so it is a bit different from normal positions. (Haven't got the VI result yet.)

      1. Describe your PhD thesis/dissertation.
