Curious what others have experienced in lateral interviews. I have heard from some that these are almost all fit based, and from others that it can be more technical than entry.

Technical competency is still assessed in lateral interviews; however, bankers seem to have more creative leeway in determining the interviewee's capabilities.

So it's safe to assume that the conversation would drift to more typical questions if there's a lack of live deal experience?
