Not sure that this is a banking role but more of a strategy role from most fixed income analyst jobs i see. CFA has basic overviews on fixed income If you know anyone who’s done or is doing the program. Otherwise some big asset managers provide free primers on fixed income topics. The main things she should know are bond price-yield relationship, duration, convexity, interest rate dynamics, and current economic news and trends. Good luck to her!

CFA overviews would be a good place to start IMO

What role in banking?

Fixed income analyst. Wish I had more info as it’s in bonds and stuff and I would like to help more but she is private since usually I would try to connect her to like a MD in the area to help her and she doesn’t want me to refer her so this is all the info I got unfortunately haha

What is her current field and years of experience?

How do you know if someone likes you in the beginning of dating? I met this guy online who I thought was cute and we went on a few dates. He always texted me right after the date and always initiates another date right after or within a day. He’s been sweet to me (ie when I was packing for a trip, he noticed there’s dirty dishes in the sink and he just started washing them for me) but he never texts in between dates and doesn’t really initiates much physical contact (he reciprocates when I do)

Question for anyone who might know - it appears to me Rasmussen releases a poll every week day or close to that, but day to day their margins swing three percent or more, which I think is outside the margin of error (can’t speak for every single poll). How is that kind of change possible from day to day?
