Fixed Income ICG Sales Analyst Position at BB

Hi All,

I am prepping for a first round interview with the Fixed Income ICG Sales Team at BB. It is for an analyst level postion.

What are the prospects for Fixed Income, especially with current market conditions for the Insitutional Client Basis?

Also, what type of preparation would be beneficial for first round interview and beyond? Any technical brain teasers that you have come across?

I'm considering purchasing the WSO Invterview guides, but fear that the content isn't specific enough to FI Sales focused on ICG. Am I wrong?

Thanks for your help. Any advice you can lend would be much appreciated.

Cheers

So you're interviewing at Citi, eh?

"ICG" doesn't mean anything particularly special or important. It's an organizational shell. As far as you're telling me/I can make out, this is a standard fixed income sales group, and thus (probably) a fairly standard fixed income sales interview.

"There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first, be smarter, or cheat."
 

It's actually another BB. I figured that the ICG portion of the title was an all-encompassing organizational acronym.

In regards to the interview itself, would purchasing the WSO Interview guide be beneficial? I've began to read Fabozzi, but obviously it's a great deal of material to cover. Any other in-depth fixed income materials that I should drill down and cover before the first interview? If you have any suggestions that are a bit more abbreviated it would be much appreciated.

My current role for the past two years is at the same BB in Operations. I've been networking with all Front Office Areas and HR in hopes of transitioning to a more client facing role which would allow me to obtain licenses etc.

Thanks for your help!
