Help Needed: FT Associate Interview

Hey guys, I have a HireVue this week with RJ for a FT ER Associate position. What can I expect, and how should I prepare? Stock pitches, technicals, behaviorals?

This is my first time using HireVue, and I don't really know what to expect. I think I have a solid understanding of accounting, valuation, and equity/enterprise value, though of course I will review these topics.

Thanks

Have never done a HireVue interview but, in general: know your technicals (accounting and finance), have a stock pitch ready (I imagine before the in-person this will just be a light discussion if it comes up but I would have it ready just in case and definitely on-hand if you get to the in-person rd), have a basic understanding of the industry you will be covering and a basic understanding of the markets, understand the expectations in ER (the buy/sell rating is no where near as important as understanding the companies that you're covering), and be prepared to CRUSH a writing sample if you're given one (likely).
