What's inside
Everything bank desks ask, in one place.
Most S&T candidates piece their prep together from IB guides, scattered flashcards and quant brainteaser sites. None of them match what a rates or credit desk actually asks.
What moved this week.
Rates, FX, credit and equities in a five-minute read, with the questions you'll get and how to answer them. Plus live prices for Treasuries, indexes, VIX and FX at launch.
The products, explained.
Bonds, duration, the curve, repo, FX forwards, CDS, options and the Greeks, with quizzes.
Pitch a trade with confidence.
Frameworks and example pitches, plus feedback on yours against a clear rubric.
Fast, clean numbers.
Timed drills on percentages, bond math and quick options math for the rapid-fire rounds.
