1.) read as much of the WSJ as possible every day. have views and opinions on the market, and not just equity. pick a sector/ product you like and learn about it. any kid can give an AAPL pitch. if you can talk about the AUD vs USD or where the high yield index is vs. IG you are going to differentiate yourself

2.) always be able to back up the pitches and ideas you give with strong justification. if you say that you know something, you better fucking know it. you will get follow up questions.

3.) practice pitching yourself until it becomes second nature. answer questions about your experience and resume with compact stories that highlight your best attributes. practice telling stories.

happy to answer any other questions you have. just had a Citi S&T superday for FT a few months back and was fortunate enough to get an offer.

 

Read the latest copy of Barron's, esp. the key articles on equities. You want to read for trends that Barron's is good at covering. I did that before my interview at my prior firm in equity s&t and did well in the interview. For WSJ, you want to focus on the C4 section to know what's going on. Read the Money section.
