Week 1 – Master the Fundamentals

Start with the core concepts: what is a bond, an option, a swap, how do traders/market makers make money.
Use resources like Heard on the Street + watch S&T desk explainers on YouTube. Book : Options futures and others derivatives.
Your goal: be able to explain how an option or interest rate swap works in under 60 seconds.

—

Week 2 – Understand the Greeks + Market Scenarios
Delta, Gamma, Vega, Theta — know what they are and how a trader hedges them.
Practice answering: “What happens to your book if volatility increases?”
Bonus: Follow daily macro news (CPI, rate decisions, etc.) and think like a trader.

—

Week 3 – Mock Interviews + Product Deep Dive
Pick a product per day (e.g., equity options, FX forwards, credit default swaps).
Do mock interviews — with friends or AI — and explain the P&L mechanics.
Review past S&T interview Q&A guides, especially brainteasers and market views.

—

Week 4 – Polish Your Pitch + Market View
Be ready to pitch a trade or express a market view (e.g., long USD/JPY, short volatility, etc.).
Frame it like a trader: what’s your thesis, how do you express it, what’s the risk.
Rehearse your “Why Sales & Trading?” and “What would you do on Day 1?” answers.
