Hi InTheFlesh, I'm in Credit Risk and am considering applying and interviewing for HF positions. From my own research I have deduced that I should be able to display solid cash flow modelling skills to value a company, have a view on the current market with the ability to make a buy/sell recommendation for a company with defensible reasoning, be prepared for brain teasers that display my ability to logically work through problems, and convey a passion for the markets. Are these the correct skills to have going into HF interviews in your professional opinion, and what else am I leaving out? Thanks
