Any idea how technical questions can get for a FT CMG Analyst role (not the SA CMG they have)? What are the best things to look into? Also, I know there’s some sort of a test to take? Any idea how difficult it is / how to prepare?

When preparing for a full-time (FT) Commodities & Global Markets (CMG) Analyst role interview at Macquarie, it's essential to focus on several key areas based on the most helpful WSO content. Here's a structured approach to get you ready:
Understand the Role and Sector: Start with a solid understanding of what the CMG division does, including the commodities and markets it covers. This knowledge will help you anticipate the types of technical questions that may be asked.
Technical Skills: Be prepared for technical questions that may cover a range of topics relevant to commodities and global markets. This could include:
Preparation for the Test: If there's a test involved, it's likely to assess your quantitative skills, understanding of financial markets, and possibly your coding ability if the role involves quantitative analysis. To prepare:
Review Financial News and Trends: Stay updated with the latest news in commodities markets and global financial trends. Understanding current events can help you answer questions that assess your market awareness and ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios.
Practice Behavioral Questions: While the focus may be on technical skills, don't overlook the importance of behavioral questions. Be ready to discuss your interest in Macquarie, the CMG division, and how your background makes you a good fit for the role.
WSO Resources: Utilize Wall Street Oasis forums and guides for insights into the interview process at Macquarie and similar roles. Engaging with the community can provide you with firsthand accounts of interviews and advice on navigating the process.
Remember, preparation is key. The more you understand about the role, the commodities and markets involved, and the technical skills required, the better positioned you'll be to tackle the interview and any tests with confidence.

What round are you on?
Completely depends on the desk you’re interviewing for and who’s interviewing you. The internship interviews were relatively conversational so I’d imagine the grad ones are too.
