ER Associate Second Round Interview- Piper Sandler

Hi everyone,

I have a second round interview with Piper Sandler for an Equity Research Associate position later this week. The interview is with two Sr. Analysts and an Analyst. I was shocked to see it is only scheduled for 30 minutes. Will I be grilled on Financial Modeling throughout this interview, or what should I expect for technical questions? Any advice at all is greatly appreciated, I have been trying so hard to break into the industry, so I need to be at my absolute best.

Thanks again!
