I have an interview scheduled with Barclays next week. HR told me that this will be a Business and controls interview. On asking what would this be around, she just told me that the panel would like to know more about you. She didn't say anything else. What can I expect from this round.
I gave one round before this one which was completely technical and from my CV

Wow.. A&M seems to be a heaven for FDD folks...
Average if you don't want to burn out
Depends on your goals I guess? It’s better to be a high performer obviously in general haha
Different question: Any advice on how to build a large network when starting remotely? Not a shy person but I’m very cautious of other people’s time.
It’s also natural for me to be hard on myself and to seek a higher up’s approval so I (would like to think that) gravitate towards being a high performer. I’m trying to learn how to set boundaries because I don’t want this job to be my life.
Be good at your job and learn when to say no.
Good luck getting that right now. If you are average right now that’s the place to be as can hide. If you are a top performer will always be staffed
3s get degrees
In general: I'd much rather be an average performer, work and be under the leadership of smart people and always learn from them. I'd take the paycut (whatever the difference is between top and avg performers) and have a balanced lifestyle (not too in demand). The strategy has worked for me so far.
Agree with EY1..more important is to have a backbone and be able to say no or be vocal about personal commitments (i.e., going to the gym). I would block your calendar for an hour each day when you want to work out.
push hard right before and right after promotions, cruise in between
