IBanking Interviews - Best Way to Prepare/What to Expect

I am looking at switching career paths and entry level banking roles.

I know of the technical guides and to know them well, but what other things should I expect? Are technical questions asked at every interview, in more and more depth? In my current field, we don't have many technical questions asked during the interviews.

How would you structure your preparation if you were in my position, looking at entry level/lateral analyst roles?
