trading interview prep guides? VBA? SAS? Programming experience

I have a friend who gets an interview at a fixed income trading firm. It was for a trading assistant position, but he was asked about p-value and some stats questions. I am interested in break into the trading industry. Do I now need VBA, SAS, programming experience now to be even an assistant position due to the economy?

Does any one has any insights on this? I am more of a math background rather than CS majors.

Also, I am looking at Vault Guide, or WSO guide for the stocks and trading. I already have the technical guide from WSO and it is great. I am just wondering if I should get the trading and stock guide too or if I should get all the vault guide?

Thank you !

 

try the wso trading guide. it's pretty cheap
