Research Associate Interview Coming Up - Advice, Tips, Etc

Hi! I have an upcoming final round interview this Tuesday for a research associate role at a BB (think GS, JPM, MS). It's about an hour and a half with three different 30-minute interviews with various research associates, research analysts, and heads of research. I would be doing municipal credit research and I wanted to get a gauge of what kinds of questions/technicals they may potentially ask. Also if anyone has any resources that you think may be helpful feel free to drop them. My background consists of primarily corp. fin. experience (<1 year) at a large asset management firm so credit analysis is an area I'm not completely familiar with. Any advice, feedback, interview tips is much appreciated!
