I was called down to the Merrill Lynch office and I interviewed with the senior VP of the GWIM team there. He asked me a lot about my background, as I grew up in Asia. He wanted to know how international knowledge came into play. He also asked some questions about fixed income and showed me several bond summaries, asking me if I knew what the figures meant (eg. coupon rate, rating, par value, price, corporate/muni, etc.). The interview lasted for about 2 - 3 hours in his office, and we also covered a little on black swan events.
