interview advice needed!

Hi guys, i have an interview this week for an analyst position involving structured product issuance, data analysis, product development, programming, etc.

is it a structurer role? i'm a fresh graduate with no experience of derivatives structuring. i do have a minor in computer science, but my past experience was limited in banking side (reading financial statements, cash flow projections, ...) what kind of questions shall i expect in this coming interview?

your adivce & insights are greatly appreciated!~

What is the name of the group, if I may ask? What is the title of the position?

Generally, a lot of "finance" roles are really programming jobs that have been played up to get financial programmers (read: CS majors who should have studied finance) to think they're applying for something more finance-related. Don't be surprised if you get hit with data structures and algorithms questions like crazy.
