#1 most important thing: Have a solid answer for “why public finance?”
Gotcha, will work on giving a solid answer for it
Which BB? And is it for SA? I have HV coming up for pub fin is yours a phone call?
It is for SA and yes it is a phone call
I would also prep for basic bond math questions, I was asked that during a phone call interview at one of the BBs
Thanks for the advice, which BB do you have the interview at or had the interview at? WF, MS, GS or somewhere else?
Ik Wells is currently doing first rounds. Haven't heard from MS. And was actually asked those bond math questions for the PSI group at GS
