How should I prep for this with technical knowledge?
What kinds of topics should I be focusing on?
never heard of such thing
Should be mainly fit, you want to make sure you don't approach the interview as "I'm trying to get this job to someday move to FO".
it would help if you told us what position you were interviewing for- ops? controller? treasury? fp&a? etc...
no one would come on this board and say, i have an interview for a FO position- how should i prepare?
You should know at least a little bit about the FO function you will be supporting. If it is Ops you should know the basics of the product - what it is, how it trades and settles, who the major buyers/sellers are, etc. Same with controller except you should understand the cashflow and marking of the product too. You don't need to know a ton, but simple mastery of some of this will help you nail a BO interview because most people interviewing for these positions don't know much. Also be prepared to demonstrate fit and general interest in the industry, questions like "what was the last finance-related book you read?" etc.
It's Operations / Trading Risk
How much technical stuff is there for a SA position?
