Hedge Fund Equity Analyst Interview - Undergrad

Hey guys,

I'm new to the site and I'm looking for some advice

I have a first round interview at a hedge fund (>$5bn) for an Equity Analyst position from undergrad

I've had a summer in IBD at a top boutique and a few internships in BB's

I'm just wondering what the focus of the interview will be? brain teasers/technical/fit/pitches

Any advice much appreciated
