Advice for interviews in London - FSG group and general M&A Off-cycle

I have some upcoming interviews for off-cycle internships in London in the coming few weeks at boutiques: Jefferies, HL, William Blair and DC Advisory.

The only interviews I ever had so far were on mainland EU where there is a large focus on technicals at boutiques (very likely the same as in the UK). I was wondering if any one of you here had any experience interviewing at the companies above or just general advice for interviewing in the UK that might be different from other countries? Or if there are any aspects that the company is proud of and that's not written on their sites.

Any advice on the FSG coverage groups would be much appreciated as well (if they are part of FIG or a standalone division that does PE coverage)

Thanks a lot!
