FT Interview vs. Summer Analyst

Looking for some advice on not only how to recruit, but also how the interviews differ in terms of difficulty and concepts. I am currently an incoming SA for 2025 with an MM bank but in a second-tier city. I'm thinking of recruiting next year and looking to potentially get into a tier 1 city before it's too late. 

If anyone has any experience with this I'd love to hear how interviewing differed and what the difficulty level was compared to the SA interviews

Thanks
