Hey Monkeys, I've got an interview coming up for a MO/BO office role at a BB and am anticipating the "why this department" question. Of course, I'm interviewing for the name and because I didn't get a FO role this fall but can't say that. What are some good things to say about the MO/BO?

Depends heavily on what sort of MO/BO role you're targeting.
If it's one that works with several divisions (eg risk), you can say that you want to get a broader view of banking and you believe a central/above the wall role lets you see, understand and work with a broad range of teams and situations, as compared to a front office business role that could be too focused and blinkered at such an early stage in your career.
Thanks for the reply, yeah the position is in market risk or credit risk so I think that's a pretty good answer
