  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Barclays
  • I would say it is important to be yourself, don't be afraid to speak about your passions, and hobbies during the interview process, they really value who you are as a person much more than your technical abilities, which is very nice as they will help you to develop your skills during the internship.
