Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategies (BREDS) Liquids FT Interview Process

I have an interview with BREDS Liquids (desk focusing on CMBS/RMBS) and was wondering what to expect as a lateral analyst? Currently at a BB (less than a year) doing CRE secured and unsecured credit deals both on a corporate and property level. I have a strong understanding of CMBS/CDOs/different credit products but how technical can I expect the interview to be? Have two zoom screens this week. Any insights into the interview process would be appreciated.
