Interview
The Barclays summer internship interview process began with a first-round interview with a VP, focusing on general motivation and fit questions. I was then invited to an Assessment Centre, which included three interviews: one case study assessing problem-solving, and two technical/qualitative interviews exploring industry knowledge and analytical thinking.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Barclays, Why IB? What team preferred ?
Walk me through 3 statements, DCF etc. What are the different valuation techniques.
dilutive questions
IF A and B company are the same (industry all) why does one have a higher share price or valuation (EV)
Unfortunately, I did not make it until the interview stage, but the online assessment was kind of difficult if you did not practice much. It was quite difficult to answer all 12 questions within only 10 minutes as it also included numerical questions.
