Recently got a full-time corporate banking interview at a large bank (think: HSBC/TD) and was wondering what type of questions should I expect, especially on the technical side?
Also, are corporate banking interviews mostly behaviorial or technical? Heard commercial banking was primarily behaviorial but not sure about corporate banking.
Thanks!

If this is an entry level interview for corporate banking, the interview will be significantly weighted on the behavioural side. The technical questions that I did have when interviewing for CB (think JPM, Citi, BofA) were mainly regarding credit, how to analyse a company's credit profile as well as basic questions concerning debt.
Lateraled to BB (Citi, JPM, BofA) CB recently. Interviews were mostly about fit and behavioral, with some technicals (leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, credit analysis, knowledge of credit facility products, loan tenor, etc.) thrown in there. It's essentially investment banking lite where analysts are expected churn out slide decks / credit memo / transaction summaries, prepare committee presentation materials / brief models, and complete other administrative work.
