Junior / Support Portfolio Manager Interview

Hello

Soon I will have a 2 hours interview for a Junior PM position in a french bank, but I have no idea how to prepare or what to expect from the interviewers. I have to mention that I have a very limited work experience, and from where I am, this opportunity is rare, but I really enjoy this domain.

From the description of the job, I will work on equity and fixed income funds, I will help the Senior PM with the analysis and recommendations in what to invest and why. In addition to this I will be involved in the operational side of things, writing reports, managing liquidity and I will also be involved in regulation projects such as MiFID, EMIR and so on.

Besides the investment side of things, I will work with the Risk, Back Office and Compliance departments.

As I said, I have no idea on what to brush on for this interview. From what I understand, they are looking for someone good with the technical side of things.

Thanks!
