Interview with analyst vs associate - what to expect?

Long-time lurker here. I just finished my first ever interview with an analyst at a boutique tech banking firm. They said there were 2 more rounds coming up with an associate and then MD.

What can I expect from the associate? Interview with the analyst was pretty straightforward with basic behavioural and technical questions. What would an associate tend to ask beyond what was asked by the analyst? Thanks in advance.
