Anyone been through this before? I have a 1st round a BAML for an IB internship. Its a phone interview so not sure if I should just expect mainly fit or if i'll be grilled on technicals too.

When is it? You could always be prepared just in case. There's always a possibility of technicals. Their difficulty will depend on your background (i.e. if you're a freshman English major with no experience in Finance, expect easy questions, etc).
This week, not sure of the day. Im a junior as a Finance major.
are you from target/non-target schools?
Be prepared for technicals. I'm about to enter college this fall (due to National Service), and I had a phone interview with a VP at a BB test me technicals a couple months back for a possible internship position. Wasn't pretty, but it taught me to brush up on my technicals. If you're a finance major, make sure you know your shit and blow the interviewer away. At this stage in the game, you should be focusing on fit questions rather than fussing over technicals. Just my 2 cents' worth.
Is this for HK or US? Because according to another thread the HK superday is out.
Yes definitely prepare for technicals going into the interview. Read up some finance interview guides and you should be fine for the most of it. Good luck!
Definitely be ready for technicals. I would expect a softball to get a feel for how comfortable you are explaining things, followed by increasingly more difficult questions. I wouldn't expect anything more difficult than basic financial statement/concept questions on the "difficult" end. The key is to make sure you answer with confidence and detail. This typically prevents them from asking very many technicals and move on to fit, which is where you can do the most good/bad depending on who you are.
phone interviews are mainly fit, make sure to work on your story.
It's with a director so I'm polishing my story and reviewing some technicals.
What group is this for? This could alter what questions you might be likely to see.
For a basic overview, make sure you understand how the 3 financial statements link, the different ways to value a company and what the group does that you are interviewing for.
The person interviewing me is from Capital Markets.
Is it ECM or DCM? Know the current market trends, and be ready to go into detail about some of the key issues going on in the equity/debt markets.
her title has Money Markets in it
im more interested in industry group but the guy interviewing me is from LevFin. should i prepare differently?
For LevFin have an idea of where benchmark yields are at, understand seniority of the capital structure (who gets paid back first if the company were to go bankrupt, etc.) Would also tailor your "Why LevFin?" answer a little differently than why IB in general (like structuring and underwriting deals, get to work with a variety of industries, get to learn one product in depth, etc.)
