Grant Thornton Business Valuation Associate - Need help!

Hey Guys...this might be a bit redundant and similar to other postings, but I have a few general questions and would appreciate your responses as experienced professionals:

I have a interview coming up with Grant Thornton for a Business Valuation Associate position within EAS. Any idea/tips for the interview? Will it be more technical, with questions regarding modeling and stuff or just fit? Any idea on what the pay starts at for an associate position? What the job duties really entail? Interesting stuff?

I am currently employed at a very respectable F10 firm, but no longer enjoy what I do...and believe the skills at my current job are not as transferable/helpful as they would be working in a financial advisory group. Is it worth it jumping from a F10 Company to GT. I do a lot of accounting right now and don't want to get into the same at GT.

Any advice/suggestions/comments would be much appreciated.

Go for it. It should be mostly fit, since most accounting firms are, especially since this is a middle market firm(relatively). It's always good to brush up on your valuation techniques, and other various finance/accounting terms and ratios. Best of luck to you!

Agree with above, focus on Valution DCF, Market Approach, WACC. Know how to the FS relate, and try to move from Revenues to Cash flow. A sample Q could be, describe a DCF and buld a WACC. Job duties are building models, for Valuations - EV, Equity, Debt, Impairment testing, PP Allocations. I think you'll be in a generalist pool depending on the city.
