Equity Derivatives Trading Interview Advice
I have a superday with Morgan Stanley equity sales & trading coming up and I believe I will be meeting primarily with derivatives trading. Has anyone gone through this in the past? Any ideas as to specific types of questions? I've heard an assumption of many brainteasers but not from anyone that has gone through it.
HELP: S&T interview next week (energy trading desk)
Have an interview scheduled for next week for energy trading. I understand the basics of forwards/futures/hedging risk but my foundation is stronger in equity derivatives and fixed income. So I don't know what to expect. What are some good resources where I can get up to date with the market in a fairly quick amount of time. I understand energy is much more difficult to master but I don't want to walk into the interview with a deer in the headlights.
Background:
UCLA Undergrad applying for a full-time offer which includes a 7 week training program. Position includes energy markets as well as agriculture trading.
First S&T interview, interned in risk management the summer before.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
