Experence with 2nd/3rd tier Middle Market Interviews

For those of you that have had experience with smaller / very regional boutiques for analyst/associate positions, could you please share the extent to which technical knowledge is tested.

I am positive that this would vary in a case by case basis, but just looking to see if they are usually less stringent on the modeling knowledge necessary.

My experience with MM interviews has been that they are much more focused on behavioral and fit than BBs and elite boutiques. I also had a finance internship last summer and am in a business program (vs. liberal arts background) so I think questions about my experience last summer may have replaced technical questions in my case. YMMV, however.

MM IB -> Corporate Development -> Strategic Finance
