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!

Thank you! I'm actually working in management consulting and have no deal experience. I'm assuming I'll get more technicals than you did?
