Difficult interview

Application

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Barclays (Noida) in Oct 2025

Interview

The interview process involved multiple technical rounds focused primarily on mathematics and statistical foundations rather than trading strategy design. Core areas included linear algebra, probability, statistics, regression theory, and basic coding and OOP concepts. Later rounds tested depth of understanding rather than speed.
