Lots of market-based questions. Be sure to know what the fed is doing as well as its rate. Know what different central banks are doing in the world such as macro strategies and their rates. Show a genuine interest in Citi as well, as fit-based questions are very important to them. Overall I would say it was 70/30 markets-based. Prepare a fire stock pitch, don't underestimate it.

 

Did you get an S&T offer? I think going from S&T to CMO is much easier than S&T to IBD which is nearly impossible depending on your connections at the firm

 

got the superday that unfortunately overlaps with superday with another bank at a group I'm fairly experienced with. Can't reschedule and still it's so painful having to give up an s&t superday???

 

Regardless of whether you are more interested in sales or trading, you need a strong understanding of what's going on in markets. Read the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, etc. You have a high chance of being asked your opinion on Fed policy, the tariffs in China, so stay informed on markets. Additionally, do some research on stocks and ETFs. You may be asked to pitch one in your interview.

If you are an engineer, expect a few brainteasers and math questions.
