Should already have markets and behavioral locked if you are actually interested in trading. Rep brain teasers, some banks might not ask them but if you nail them and have the other stuff locked, you are going to do great.

 

Have a pitch! Being able to pitch a long/short on a company I feel is part of the reason I got my offer, there are a bunch of resources online esp on wso about how to make a good pitch, but just have a cool (and obv smart) edge. 


And then just dumping some other stuff:
Why sales vs trading, one over the other, what markets are at, what 10yr is at, where do you see rates going? any cuts soon? what about the new fed chair. Why our bank, what desk do you like here, etc. salesandtrading . org is what i used to prep and it helped a lot imo, good luck!
