Making recommendation in interview against analyst position

I have an interview coming up where I will likely have to make a stock pitch. I want to make a recommendation against our team’s official position but not sure where exactly compliance comes into all this. Is this fine since it’s an interview and not a client call on official business?

Never ever ever ever EVER do this. I covered Meta for my school's investment fund, analyst who covered Meta grilled me on this in an interview. I was bearish and they were bullish and it did not go well at allllll.
