IB switching to Research - have an interview with a top 3 firm next week? What do I need to know

Hello,

I have been an analyst at a lower BB for a year now. HAving talked to my mentor and knowing myself, I have decided that a career in Equity research would be better suited ot my skills and interests. I have an interview with a top BB (think GS/MS/Citi) for a research position next week. What type of questions can I expect? Are there a lot of brainteasers? Or a lot of valuation questions? ANy help will be greatly appreciated, as I really want to make the switch, but I am not sure how to adequately prepare for a research interview
