NO technical questions in a technical interview?

Hey,

I had an interview today, second round at a BB for IB SA role. The first round the interviewer was pretty impressed by me. HR contacted me before the second interview and said it would be a highly technical interview, so expected certain technical questions.

Absolutely no technical questions were asked, they were all behavioural? It really stunned me, and I am trying to wonder why, or what this means. Thanks!

Definitely not an issue, know a girl that had first and second round + AC at MS London and they were basically all behavioural. Also a guy had one behavioural and one half behavioural for his first rounds. Both of them got the offer.

HR was probably not aligned with interviewer, not a big deal, what's important is if the interviewer gave good feedback. Sadly the only way to know is to wait
