Fixed Income Research Analyst Interview Prep Tips?

I have an interview for a FI Research Analyst position this week and am looking for some tips on how to best prepare. The duties of the job include:

  • carry out trades and trade resolution for breaks and disputes
  • prepare fixed income presentation materials for client meetings
  • develop and maintain broker relationships
  • DD and credit analysis for various issuers
  • provide market and economic updates

etc.

Any tips on how to prepare going into the interview would be great. Thanks.
