Leverage Syndicate Desk Interview

Hi everyone,

I’m a junior in college and have an upcoming interview for a Summer Analyst position with a syndicate desk at an investment bank that focuses on high-yield bonds and leveraged loans. I don’t have much prior technical exposure to this area, and I was wondering what I should expect in the interview. Also, what would be the most effective way to get up to speed quickly given that the interview is coming up soon?

Thanks in advance for your advice!
