Talking with a Parter at a BB

Hey Guys,

I have an opportunity to have a phone conversation with the Co-Head of Investment Banking at a BB. I've had conversations with Analysts, Associates, and VP's, but never with someone at the Partner level. (I am a Junior at a non-target looking for a 2012 SA internship)

Do I still follow the same basic format of an informational interview? For example... "what was your career path? Why this bank? What advice you might have?

I did some research on the guy and he seemed to be involved with a couple HUGE deals. (Main advisor to a couple M&A deals over 3 billion)

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks.
