I just had a superday-esque meeting with everyone from Sr. mgmt down to analysts over about 5 hours.
Interview Questions
Nothing really, mainly fit focused and asking about my prior experience. I would say that it's not super important to know insurance IB forwards and backwards, they were more focused on the fundamentals I had learned at my previous analyst role.
