Industry Specific Interview Question Examples (Ex: Tech, ADG, Business Services, etc.)

So I have been searching for a thread that covers industry specific technical/behavioral and fit questions but have been unable to come across anything with some depth to it or specific enough. I have some second and first round interviews coming up with industry specific groups and boutiques and was hoping some of you could shed some light on what to expect beyond the traditional questions covered in the guides and websites online.

So, have any of you been asked any questions or have any of you asked any questions that were particular to a specific industry? Which questions/concepts are the most important? Are there certain types of valuation techniques or models that are more important or used more often? What would you hope an analyst already came in knowing something about to smooth their transition or make them more attractive as a candidate? Best resources to learn or gain exposure?

Groups could include (Tech, Telecom, ADG, Government Contractors (or other contract dependent industries), Food Service, Industrials, Oil & Gas, or any other groups I may miss out on. or are potentially discussed less. Thanks in advance for your replies!

My particular interest is in Tech/ADG/Energy but anything helps the others who will come across this thread!

I mean if you're expressing interest in a specific team or the bank is more sector focused, then yes I've gotten it. There's a ton of posts and threads about these and it's easy to just google like wso tech or healthcare for example.

I mean I don't think there's a need to go beyond simple things like industry multiples or maybe something like how'd you validate a Pharma company with no revenue for example.
