The second round interview was a big day with directors in the fixed income group. They interviewed with me while still doing jobs on their computers.

It was a first round with the hiring manager who mostly asked behavioral questions. He described the role and what they do. Overall the questions he asked were trivial like bond market trading hours. I didn’t know about the sessions after the regular trading session.
