Hi all,
I have a first-round interview for Jefferies's Summer 2021 Fixed Income Sales and Trading Program. I was wondering if anyone has any insight on what to expect. Usually, how technical are first-round interviews? Any insight greatly appreciated.

be able to pitch some bonds you find interesting. will likely be more technical than an equities interview so good luck!
thanks! where is the best place to find bond ideas? everyone on tv and online only talks about equities.
What day is your interview??
My first round was largely just questions about current views on the market. Be able to discuss major events and how they are impacting the pricing of different assets. Unless you had prior experience, the interview shouldn’t be too formal and more focusing on your market knowledge and interest in S&T.
superdays out. anyone get one?
Yeah, do you know what to expect for the interviews?

Hey had the 1st round at the end of June too, if I haven’t heard back yet am I most likely dinged?
bump
Has anyone heard back after the final round?
not yet, how did yours go? technical?
they were pretty markets based but not bad wby
are the superdays done?

They said they'll be done by Friday
i know the head of the rates desk....he is a major coke head...not kidding...he's been doing cocaine practically daily for over 20 years....banging hookers...cheating on his wife....etc....if he likes you, he's a cool dude (and parties like a roick star)...and if he doesn't like you, you'll think he's an asshole
real wolf of walk street type stuff. at the same time, he's really smart (paradoxically)...and has a decent emotional IQ...and he has an amazing feel for the market (sometimes)
take from this what you will...in trading, its all about how much money can you make
If he's doing coke daily he probably doesn't bang hookers so much as fail to get it up and frustratedly send them on their way.
does anyone know if they sponsor internationals?
They say they will but actually they DONT. (Source: Target School and have close international friends went to SPD)
Correct.
did you guys hear back?
