Derivatives Sales Trader Job interview..help

ok,

Here is the situation. I work MO, and have a sick relationship with my traders and sales ppl. I do everything for them, and they appreciate it. One of them hinted to me (inside info) that somebody is leaving, and that persons MD told my current boss they like me. So, given then fact that they already know me well..what can i expect if iget interviewed? I mean, they know my work ethic and work and caracter. Whats left?

thanks

BP

cool, anything else i should know?

btw..had first interview with VP, lunch..very informal, we laughed our asses off. On top of that, most of his employees are vouching for me... It happened last monday, we met again, and now i have 2 more follow ups in 1-2 days..its all hapenning pretty quick...

 

found out,..tomorrow i meet the big cats... ill keep you posted...this thing is making me go insane...its my second shot at a Trader/Sales position from the BO/MO, and this time i plan to make it happen...hopefully there is room for dissapointment...

this is proof that a BO monkey can climb the ranks, with hard work, good quesitions, curiosity and persistence. and in 2 years only dont believe anything else.
