Hi there,what type of question will be asked for a entry-level exotic IRD trader ?can u give some examples ?Don't be too abstract like brainteaser questions, market knowledge... let's put down some concrete questions for practice...appreicate a lot

any help pls ...

come on, somebody must have interviewed such roles before...

hello...

Many times interviews for derivatives and exotic trading start with binary option.Pricing and greeks of this most basic exotics should be revisited before having an interview.Also typically impacts of all the parameters of short-rate models for the pricing of IR derivertives,and sometimes it goes further to check your knowledge of BGM model.But I don't think it should be a lot different from other quant interviews.

more pls. i am hungry....
