AQR 1st round interview in a couple of days

Hi all,

I have a 1st round interview with AQR coming up for their Business Devevelopment Summer Internship in London. As I have had finance/IBD interviews, but never any interviews with HFs before, I would love to get some help/guidance here. I know my motivation, however I am a little unsure what I can expect with regards to technical questions? It should be noted that I do not have any school alumnis I can ask about it.

Has anyone been to an interview with AQR and can help me with some insight?

It would really be appreciated.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it!

Have you been to a BD interview yourself, or have you been interviewing for a more technical role?
