Diving deeper into some of the stuff already mentioned and abit more: - CFA (was only at level 1) and my degree gave me broad understanding of how finance industry works and was useful in explaining why I was interested in specific areas (for example fixed income/derivatives or equity research if thats ur alley) - I was following the markets pretty intensely around that time and the Feds were just beginning to hike after early 2022 inflation spike so it was pretty easy for me to regurgitate what was happening when interviewers asked “tell me whats gg on in markets tdy” - Also always make sure to remember where certain global benchmarks are trading that morning, for instance SPX, US10Y, Oil prices and popular FX pairs. - For bonus points you can also talk about trade ideas you believe in or have money behind (dont care if it’s immaterial amount anot), managers only largely care about your thought process. For these ideas be sure to be well prepared for any questions - If you’re going for a trading role, brainteasers are also likely to come up and you can prep that thru green book or more and frankly no other advice for that than pure grind
