Part 1 with HR: you need to have the typical questions ready, why MS, Why Strats, tell them about yourself and your experience, why are you looking to leave.
Part 2 with strats : I would be prepared to speak to MSET, MS IED position in the industry & also general electronic trading. Strats are a smart group, they’ll likely want to talk about and know how you’ll be able to improve trading strategies (remember, MS is in the broker deal / market making business so trading strategies = sell side strategies) about you being prepared I am sure they will also look to test your programmatic skills querying in some way/shape or form. Also, if you know how Strats fits into the organization (it’s an organization within IED, not a technology organization) that would help.
