Behevarioal questions for IB analysts

1-2 year analyst at BB, looking to exit into PE or industry roles with some interviews lined up. What type of fit questions can I expect?

I had anecdotes in uni of times I "demonstrated leadership" or "lead a group" - but as an IB analyst lets be honest I'm just a processing monkey that jumps when my MD tells me to. All i do is make slides pretty, but I've never lead / manage anyone or a group maybe except an intern or the india team to spread comps - I'm also always the sole analyst in my deals

How do we answer these questions? Is it bad if I refer to my uni experience on this? I'm literally just a processing monkey in my role bruh
