Macquarie FICC Interview

Hey guys

So I'm an engineer by trade with some good exposure to finance. I had an IB internship over the past summer at BB.

I have an interview (final round) at Macquarie for FICC S/T. They do, from their website, mostly distressed debt, CMBS, and various individual industries (healthcare, energy, retail).

Can anybody give me some insight as to what I should expect at a FICC S/T interview in terms of technicals and what background they will expect me to have. Like I said, I am an engineering major and have a math based tech background. I dont want to make a fool of myself.

Thanks everybody,

DG

Nothing too tricky, except some of those "logical reasoning" questions with the different shapes I could not figure out. Are you going to NY tomorrow? If so, PM me.
