Special Sits HF 1st Round Interview

Hey Everyone,

I have an upcoming 1st round interview for a Junior Analyst (1+ yr of experience) in a special sits funds. Any tips on how to prepare? My current experience is in an AM setting covering fixed income. I am well-versed on the market conditions and what is going in the Fixed income market. I am more concerned about what type of technical questions should I expect? I am expecting brainteasers given its a Special sits interview, any guide/source where I can find brainteasers or tips on how to prepare for brainteasers will be appreciated. Should I have an idea ready to go or that should be in more advanced rounds of the interview?


any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
