(S&T)Preparation credit derivatives trading internship and what do traders look for in their interns?
I will be starting an internship this summer at the credit derivative desk in one of the bulge bracket bank and I wanted to know how should I best prepare myself? I come from a none finance background and is currently studying engineering. I have zero exposure to this side of the business, but have been reading thru posts on this forum and actively preparing myself. I also got into S&T by chance, so I was not focused on this role before.
I want to get some input on this forum on how to best prepare for a credit derivatives trading internship?I am also interested in finding out what do traders look for in their interns?
Welcome for any inputs and thanks in advance for answering my questions!
^^^^^^^bump?
You should probably take a look at the products that the desk trades/sells and try to understand them so that when you get there you aren't completely lost. In credit derivatives you should probably take a look at CDS and Interest Rates Swaps as a starting point and then maybe take a look at more exotic products like swaptions or other stuff depending on what the desk does. Good luck !
