What do I do from here

Blind applied to a boutique investment banking firm (had no interest in pursuing banking after my internships just was like fuck it ) a few weeks ago and I got an email today saying they wanted to interview me around a week from now.

Have not done any prep in a while and now I got mixed feelings because I don't want to do an interview for an industry I don't want to pursue but I am a recent grad without a job right now so I'm stuck in a pickle. 

What do you guys think
