Equity derivatives desk interview?

Does anyone know what type of interview questions are asked? How in depth do you have to know about options? I’ve traded options, spreads mostly prior to stating FT in IB. I have a pretty good grasp on the Greeks and I personally have a process that’s been making me money. However, despite that, I know that I don’t know anything. Any advice? I’m also not a quant but I’m a very fast learner.
