math and bond math (duration, cnxty, eco numbers)
had an interview several months ago for a junior trader position (interest rate derivative). in the first round i was asked: 1) previous work experience 2) how well i can program in VBA 3) brain-teaser (trick questions to see if u can think creatively) 4) finance questions: first warm up in equity option (question about greeks and some comparisons). and then go to swap-related stuff (like, difference b/t FRA and EDF, and why) and swaption.
