A few days ago I applied for an SA position at an IB. Several of the bankers invited me out to lunch for next Wednesday. Would you treat this like an interview or as an informal meet and greet? Should I prepare for technical questions?

hate that kid...but good point though, indecisiveness is a feminine trait
dude, you must have a 4.3/4 GPA from Wharton.
It is all about fit as others have stated.
Although you generally should avoid work-related, but asking about deals they closed can definitely be a talking point. Remember, bankers love to talk about themselves and how glorious the deal(s) they closed were.
