Agreed. know yourself, study the generic behavioral questions, and keep up to date with markets / trends. The extent of difficulty of technicals will probably be talk about a stock you like or give me an investment idea.. other than that you may get a brain teaser thrown at you.

I had a markets internship before switching to banking and was in a similar position as you. I didn't know what they would ask, so I studied macro topics, bond math, did a stock pitch, etc. During my interview, it was the easiest process ever. Questions included, Bond math, expected values, books I was reading and why markets instead of banking.

 

Thanks a lot for this! Do you have any recommendations for guides to study from? I have been preparing for IB but got an interview for Markets and I am pretty clueless about how to prepare for technicals. I have a week.
