ECM intern BNP paribas interview (scared)

BNP Paribas ECM interview tomorrow and nervous about technicals. I have no experience in Finance so I'm surprised I was selected for an interview. Just wondering what should I expect and what I could talk about in my interview in regards to current capital markets.

Same as above. ECM don’t really look for technicals unless you get unlucky and are interviewed by a M&A banker. Just keep telling BNP how much better they are vs Barclays UBS and DB as they love that.

Maybe research IPOs in the pipeline upcoming in 2025/26. Impact of recent tariffs on ECM activity so acquisition finance largely unaffected, IPOs more affected, expect block sales with market recovery etc
