Good questions to ask a fixed income salesman

Hi,

Was wondering what you would consider good questions to ask a fixed income sales guy, which were not too general but specific.

I guess it is quite easy to follow what is going on but to ask good questions which are not too broad.

Thanks

Sales & Trading Mock Interview

“The mentor provided extremely detailed and thoughtful feedback throughout our session. What I appreciated most was that the advice was not generic. He took the time to understand my background, past experiences, and the specific roles I am currently recruiting for, and then tailored his suggestions accordingly. He also connected many of his recommendations to his own professional background and experiences, which made the feedback much more practical and credible. Instead of simply telling me what to change, he explained why certain answers or approaches would be more effective and how an interviewer might interpret them. He also shared specific examples from his own experience to illustrate his points. I came away from the session with a much clearer understanding of both my strengths and the areas I should improve, as well as several concrete ways to strengthen my interview preparation. Overall, the session was extremely helpful, personalized, and actionable, and I would definitely work with him again.”

Assuming this is an informational interview, you want to ask questions about his career and for advice regarding your own situation. Avoid asking random technical questions and/or stuff you can just google or read in a finance textbook.
