How do I prepare for an Equity Capital Markets SA interview at a BB?

Hi I have interviewed for IBD BB before but not ECM. Does anyone know how an ECM interview would be compared to an IBD one? Do I need to know different/certain things? Any tips/advice on questions would be very helpful!

Thanks!

I had an ECM interview last week. I got asked about raising capital (debt vs equity), lots of questions about the markets and how you follow them, stock vs cash based transactions advantages and disadvantages of each.

Basically prep for markets questions as well as a bit of macro-economics stuff.

Vero iste a adipisci et. Itaque qui sit reiciendis quisquam excepturi vel deserunt. Culpa neque dolor corrupti possimus ut non.

Nesciunt ex porro error iusto deleniti ut aliquam. Consequatur neque sapiente dicta odio ad adipisci. Dolorem consectetur quia similique sed pariatur repudiandae.

Odio vitae iste enim id eum. Enim impedit repudiandae aperiam. Et et et suscipit aperiam culpa mollitia et. Facere delectus dolore ipsa officia enim. Minus rem et quis delectus.

Nostrum nulla quaerat culpa mollitia quo nesciunt tenetur. Recusandae suscipit id laborum ut quasi. Commodi qui laborum recusandae fugit omnis facere. Voluptas qui eum eos officia sit ut.
