Prepping for an Rx interview. From the recruiter, this is verbatim, the technical question he sent me that will show up in my interview:

"What is the IRR for Rate of Return for a bond trading at $400, now trading at 50% with a coupon of 10%? (Candidate should calculate compound interest in your head)"

How is this calculated without a maturity? Makes no sense to me. assuming i'd do YTM = (coupon + price appreciation/n)/((face+price)/2)

Alright this bowl has convinced me I need to buy a Rolex. Where do I begin?

Up to what salary did you contribute to Roth retirement accounts before switching to traditional?

Owning real estate is overrated, I’d rather rent all my life. Change my mind.

If a company matches 50% of 401k contributions to 6% of salary, does that mean they’ll put in 6% if I put in 12% or will they put in max of 3% on my 6% contribution? Curious what their wording means

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

Looking for advice: I have an analyst (9 months on the job) who still doesn’t get it - repeatedly misses comments, doesn’t follow instructions, slow, etc. I have raised this to both my MDs and they seem to be adopting a “not my problem” approach when I mention it. I had advised against hiring this analyst post internship and my MD insisted that all the issues I highlighted were fixable. I have tried teaching him to no avail and frustration with him is growing. Any suggestions for how to handle?

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.

Personally would be pretty unhappy to take a pay cut between 2nd and 3rd year…
