Having an informational interview with an MD in Macro and Rates Structuring, any advice on what to ask him?

Title says it… bank is a BB with a full trading platform across all products. Was thinking of asking the following questions:

  • How do you assess and manage the interest rate risk associated with structured products in a dynamic market environment, particularly in periods of volatility?

  • In the context of macro and rates structured products, how do you incorporate macroeconomic indicators and market data into your pricing models and risk assessments?

  • Which technical skills would you recommend someone junior like myself to develop? Do you see basic ML being a necessity in the future?

  • Other than the technical skills needed to be a successful structurer, what soft and interpersonal skills have you found led people to success?

Let me know what you guys think, please feel free to absolutely rip this to shreds. Looking to really impress
