FT ECM Upcoming Interview - Any tips are welcome!

Hey everyone,

As the title mentions, I will be interviewing for a full-time position in an ECM team in London (think Barclays, Citi, CS) next week and I'd appreciate any tips/insights you might have on what to expect. My last internship was in ECM at a BB (think JPM, GS, MS) but I was not a huge fan of the bank's culture and there were no headcount for the team anyways - anything on how to answer the typical "Why didn't you stay at XX ?" are welcome as well!
