Best way to answer "Do you have a group you are interested in"?
Interviewers typically ask which coverage/product group I'm interested in. Should I say the group my interviewer is in even if I'm not that interested in it? For me, it doesn't really matter which group
Interested, if anyone has any insight into this for MBA recruiting would be helpful as well.

At the analyst level if you are asked this, I would just name a few industries that interest you but be pretty clear that you don't have a strong preference / strong industry expertise and are open to understanding the different groups and options.
I think you need to name something you’re interested in because if you say something non-committal about how you’re interested in everything you risk coming across as robotic, and if you just say the group of your interviewer you risk just sounding like a kiss ass, especially if you can’t back it up.
I would always name a group I was actually interested in, but keep the door open to others. This is basically my answer- “I’m very interested in health care because I am minoring in biology and have always been interested in medicine, and last summer I interned at a HC focused hedge fund. However, there are other groups i find really cool that I haven’t been exposed to as much but am interested in learning more about, like industrials and tech”.
At the end of the day though, you want to give a real answer here. If you don’t want to work in FIG, saying you’re interested in Fig because you’re getting interviewed by a FIG associate could end up landing you in the FIG group, so just tell the truth about what group you want
