What is the typical structure of full-time interviews like for someone that did an internship at an investment bank? I assume it'll be a lot more technical and based on deals that I have worked on, but I'm trying to get a sense of the flow of a typical FT interview.
For example, SA interviews would be: Walk me through your resume, why IB, why bank X, couple fit, couple technical, etc.
Thanks.

I summered in banking at BB but didn't get to do technical stuff.... so I'll be screwed if they ask advanced technical questions!
bump. interested. MIght be on M&I though.
thejoker, if you didn't write anything technical on your resume, they shouldn't ask you. Even if you do, your best bet is to say, "I don't know"
