I applied online. I interviewed at Barings (London, England) in Dec 2025
Interview
Interviewed for a senior associate position, I'm absolutely shocked at how low the salary was and was told the salary I was looking for is vice president level. I had an analyst title and was paid more than their senior associates at my current firm.
Highly generic interview, discussed my experience etc.
The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Barings (Boston, MA) in Jul 2024
Interview
Overall, it was an extensive process. First, I spoke with a representative from HR. Second, I spoke to the hiring manager for 30 minutes. Then, I spent three hours doing interviews with different members of the team. The questions for this round were both behavioral and technical.
Finally, there was a 2.5 hour case followed by 1 hour of feedback on the case with the hiring manager.
