for an SA working on a rates trading desk this summer, what kind of programming languages should I brush up on or probably be using the most. VBA? C++? Java? Just basic excel?
probably vba...
but i wouldn't worry about learning programming languages too much
if you can do one of the basic languages like C++/Java/Python/R you can probably pick up the other ones fairly quickly
and you're probably not going to be asked to do heavy duty software developement...
