First Interview at HF - What to Expect?

I have an interview coming up for a position in a entry-level (out of undergrad) spot at a large activist investor in 2 days. This is the first interview I am doing- I have an idea on the kind of things to pitch: strategic review etc for a company but I am really struggling to figure out what the line of questioning is likely to be?

I would appreciate any help from those who have a few years of experience and have gone through this process a few times before

 

Hey Prospect in HF - Event, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:

More suggestions...

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
