I would do some research into trading, as I assume you will be doing quant coding and research for the trading team. Learn about trading stratiges, try and talk to jr floor traders to see how they trade. If you come in with a good foundation of basic finance knowledge you will be good. Make sure you know the parts of the ballance sheet and cash flow statements and things like that. You prob wont use that info a whole lot in what you actually do but it will help you when you talk to people and it will let you pick up and learn more while you are there.
