read the WSJ as much as you can leading up, and definitely have a stock or two to pitch to them....they hate hearing "google, or apple" or the other huge names that they hear over and over (I've been told this several times). Just make sure you know why you want S&T over banking, why sales more than trading (as it sounds like you do) and know what they do! that is very important, know what a salesperson does, and what makes a good salesperson and be able to effectively communicate that...also know why that firm in particular.

Just demonstrate a passion to work in the markets - that's probably the most important thing. Have a good story of why you want to work in the markets - if you can convince them you are passionate and interested enough in the markets to do the job for 16 hours a day, you'll be all good.

I just did a few of these interviews and they went very well...went 100% with offers. They may ask you about the yield curve or the fed (and FF rate. Good luck
