Questions about 1st round CMO trading\structuring interview

Points)

on 5/19/11 at 9:37pm

I have a 1st round junior CMO trading\structuring interview next week at a major European bank.

The 2 other 1st round interviews I have been on have been personality type but this one is 2 hours with 2 traders so Im pretty sure to get grilled on some other types of questions.

What are 3-4 things you think I should know cold?
