Have an “introductory call” with a hiring manager (head of the group) for an equity research position at Barclays, is this like a formal interview? Any advice on what to expect?

Not sure what SC1 is talking about but my 2 cents:

Always treat these calls like an interview. Your intro call with them is a way for you to demonstrate why they should hire you and for you to demonstrate what value you can add to the team

I work remote for 60k with 5 years of experience as a staff accountant, I sometimes get upset that I don’t get paid enough/not challenged enough. I had a great interview with a nonprofit that’s hybrid but almost 20k more than I what I make now. I will lose some of the flexibility I have but get paid more. Is it worth it?

I recently had an interview with the hiring manager and they did 95% of the talking. It was the weirdest interview I’ve ever had. I didn’t know whether to interrupt and get a question and some comments in or stay quiet and listen. I couldn’t even gauge how it went. Has this happened to you.?
Also on average how many jobs do people typically interview for before they get an offer?
