BB FX Derivatives Interview - HELP!

Hey guys, I've landed an interview/meeting with the MD of this group.

I've got four years of trading desk experience but have this meeting on Monday and just landed it yesterday. Essentially, I fired out an email looking to see if I could join their expanding operations in another country and the MD got back to me telling me to call him the next day. I called him once daily over the past week (he was always busy), finally got a hold of him and he said they were looking for some help where I currently am located, not in the foreign country where their expanding.

I don't know what to expect, have interviewed with some options and commodities desks over the past few months, so am pretty familiar with my greeks, smile, smirk etc.

He hasn't mentioned a set position, just asked me to come in to see if I would be a "good fit."

Any guidance/help (books, guides, sites etc.) would be greatly appreciated.

If you happen to work on one of these desks currently I'd appreciate a PM to commence a conversation.

I WANT THIS BADLY.

Thanks.
