Help for Research Associate interview?!

Hey guys,

I have an interview next week for a Research Associate position in Equity Research (FIG). My role will be to support a team of analysts with tasks such as maintaining earnings models, writing reports, building/maintaining spreadsheets, preparing marketing materials, etc.

I have a degree in Finance and studied Financial Modeling, Corporate Valuation, Financial Statement analysis, etc, but I have been a Wealth Management Analyst since graduation... So I am rusty with the material.

Do any of you have any input or advice on research associate interviews? What kind of stuff will they throw at me? Will it be very technical heavy?

Thanks!!!
