I have an interview coming up for an Analyst position and was wondering if anyone that has gone through the process can shed some light on the process? There's not much useful info on WSO regarding this group. M&I has a pretty comprehensive article on ECM interviews, but I am interested to see if people have advice on specific questions that I might be asked and how the process might be different from regular IBD interviews. Thanks!

1. download the "hull:
1. download the "hull: options, futures and other derivatives" pdf and get comfortable with the options lingo.
--- make sure you understand the basics (options and the greeks) and read the pages on convertibles
--- it is absolutely essential that you know what a convertible, mandatory, exchangeable consists of.
--- read a couple of term sheets (including conditions) and try to understand how all that stuff on there is actually put into practice by using different kinds of options etc.
2. download the "brealey: principles of corporate finance" pdf and read the chapter on convertibles.
--- the key is to understand why a company should issue convertible debt? when should they do it? what are the pros and cons? what can go wrong?
3. read everything there is online. i know there isn't a lot out there
