I am a 4th year senior interviewing for IB analyst roles. I just finished the first round with Associate I and Analyst I. Now I am preparing for the second round with an Associate III and Analyst I. The first interview included a bit of everything including technicals. Should I still work on my technicals or focus on behavioral for round 2? Any pointers are appreciated.

depends - which bank?
What is this firm for?
It’s different at every bank and sometimes it straight up just depends on how ur interviewer is feeling that day. I had a 3rd round today that was extremely technical even tho my 2nd round interviewer told me it would be behavioral. I fucking bombed it. Gotta be ready for anything don’t get caught lackin like me
