I am the master of Finance, the One, the prophecy should be right.So if I write the few tips, it should be around :- Basic model of CDS pricing- knowing perfectly in which sense we are talking: Improvement of the firm financial state => strenghtening of the spread- arbitrage between ASW and CDS ?- Hedging

In fact it was more about considered my sales background, did I have the qualities or anything related to a TRader job? so it was a more personal interview from the head of Flow Credit Deri trading.He oriented me toward Credit Derivatives Sales. No technical questions, damn
