Trading & Structuring FT Graduate Interview at Credit Suisse

Hi guys, just got an interview invitation for graduate fixed income trader at Credit Suisse. According to the HR, the trading desk is "CBA", is there anyone know about this desk? (I'm not quite sure whether I get the right words....) . Could you pls give me some suggestions how to prepare for this interview? seems there will be four interviews within the same day.....

Pretty sure he meant CVA, the HR probably mentioned this over the phone so slight confusion. There is quite a bit of stuff on CVA online so read that.

 

Just so you know, there is no harm asking the question right on the spot if you don't understand the first time.

Your interviewers will like it if you ask for them to repeat something or for clarification instead of just assuming stuff. Will only work in your favour - many students get scared to ask especially in an interview.
