I potentially have a lateral interview at Jefferies and am curious if anyone has gone through the process of interviewing and can shed some light on what to expect. I have a Mergers & Inquisitions guide that I'm going through but am pretty worried about technicals and don't want to blow this. Any help would be appreciated!
