Can anyone who works in Capital Markets Derivatives, Derivatives S&T, or Derivatives Risk Management Position tell me a little bit about what it's like? I'm interviewing for an internship at a Commercial Bank in Derivatives Capital Markets, but I'm a math/CS major. Specifically would love to know:

What's the nature of the work/ typical day to day?
Likes/Dislikes?
What makes working derivatives capital markets different than equity/fixed income?
What relevant industry news do you keep up with?

I am visiting Moab and Arches National Park this year, and would love to learn more about biking in/around the park!

Are you able to ride the bikes on the roads throughout the park?
If so, are there places to lock up the bike at trailheads and/or parking lots to take in?
I haven't been to this national park yet, so I was curious how it compares to Zion for example, where it is easy to bike from "stop to stop" to view the scenery or do a hike!

Thank you!
