What do I need to know for a DCM Analyst interview?

I have an upcoming interview for a middle-market DCM analyst position and would like to get a sense of what to expect in terms of technical questions.

Please see my earlier posts for full context, but here is the summary: West Coast Semi-Target c/o 2025 with a summer internship at MS/GS/JPM Asset Management (not NYC), tried to switch to S&T, but they did not hire anyone (even the S&T interns) full-time in that office. I then received an offer to join a utility as an energy trader, but this was rescinded a couple weeks after I graduated.

I figure DCM would be somewhat related to S&T, so I applied. My interview is this week, and I need some help figuring out what I will be expected to know from a technical questions standpoint. I assume there will be questions about bond pricing and interest rates, but is there anything else I should have down?
