Good job getting the interview. For a rotational FICC sales roles, my interview was focused a lot on behaviorals. The technicals were extremely easy fixed income and economic questions that nobody would even need to study for, and there were multiple pitches on different asset classes. I’d say that I think they were really looking to see how your eq, selling skills, and cultural fit are through behaviors and the different pitches. For sales, most people I talk to feel the product knowledge required is low, but the impact of eq is high. So I would mostly just prep for some basic fixed income stuff, find credit names u like/dislike, maybe come up with a rates trade or stock trade to (u can’t have to many pitches prepared, they don’t even need to be very in depth, not like a research pitch), and just be chill and a likeable guy, and u will do fine. Congrats again on the interview
