Ccy Swap interview preparation

Hi WSO,

I'm preparing for a quant trading position at a BB bank's Rates floor. This position involves currency swaps. My background is in more vanilla FX products so I would like some guidance on what to read up on.

Additional info:
- I'm good at quant: regression models, ML models, coding, time series, etc.
- Need some key terms to look up concerning currency swaps. I got some guides. Should I do the FX forwards -> FX swaps learning track?
- Generally, what should every interviewee know about currency swaps. Sentiment on LIBOR?
- Is that a difference between XCcy Basis Swap vs FX Swap

Regards,
Nijikon
