I'm graduating with a B.A in gov and math this spring 2005.I've got an interview with "Labranche" in about 10 days; its for a trader's assist.Can anybody give me some advice on what to expect in the interview. Has anyone ever heard of this firm/know anything about the firm?

Hey kamd,I interned and then worked full-time with LaBranche's specialist unit for a little over a year and over that time got to know some guys at the Structured Products group.... it's a great work environment ... very laid back ... "very quanty" ....chances are you will be interviewed by a Math PhD so be prepared for technical questions... they have been interviewing 2nd year CMU MSCF students the past week and I have heard that the questions were very rigorous...good luck
