How would you prepare an interview to be given at a RE TS firm (similar to what Big4 RE TS do, except there is a lot more valuation work, financial modelling, investment advice, and buy/sell side work)? Are there specific technical questions I have to prepare thoroughly? I am quite solid on the basics of RE valuation (from CFA L2), but not much more.

Thanks

If you've done the CFA Level 2 then I don't think people will question your technical ability. Be able to walk through valuation approaches (cost, comps, income - both direct cap on NOI and DCF with a residual value), pretty simple stuff
