I was reading and looking at all the guides but it usually pertains mostly to the investment banking interviews. Please help me out guys

Many thanks

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MY FIRST EVER INTERVIEW PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

 

really depends on your background and who's interviewing you. any securities interviewee, however, should be able to able to provide solid answers to fit questions (e.g. "what is your greatest strength?", "have you ever displayed leadership?", etc.), questions about their motivations for applying to the firm (i.e. "why do you want to work for firm x?"), brainteasers and mental math questions, and questions about general market color.

 

Beware of the question " tell me about yourself", What they really want to know is how you can contribute to their bottom line and how do you see yourself fitting in - anything else is off track.

Good luck.

Sales and trading is where the action is .... broad exposure ...... finger on the pulse of the economy.
