Buy-Side Headhunter Intro Call (Pre-FT Start) - London

A top headhunter covering some MFs reached out to me and scheduled a call to get to know each other.

I'm an incoming 1st year BB analyst in London and haven't hit the desk yet.

What should I expect from this call? Are they expecting me to talk like a 2nd year about my stuff? Will I be grilled on deals I was staffed on during my internships?
