Had an interview with the MD. He asked my background and work exp at the previous BB Bank, and then I started asking him questions about his career and sector outlook. He didn't ask me anything technical or any specific question about the sector. The conversation lasted for like 20-25mins. Has anybody else experienced this during their process? Would it mean I might get an offer?

Yes, very normal for interviews with an MD to be much more conversational than more junior bankers.
Yeah most of my interviews with MDs were like this. Analysts and associates usually asked the technicals
thank you very much both. How do they judge then whom to take?
Who they like the most / who they believe to be the best fit for the team.
