How do I prepare for an Equity Capital Markets SA interview at a BB?

Hi I have interviewed for IBD BB before but not ECM. Does anyone know how an ECM interview would be compared to an IBD one? Do I need to know different/certain things? Any tips/advice on questions would be very helpful!

Thanks!

I had an ECM interview last week. I got asked about raising capital (debt vs equity), lots of questions about the markets and how you follow them, stock vs cash based transactions advantages and disadvantages of each.

Basically prep for markets questions as well as a bit of macro-economics stuff.

Libero eum laborum sed ipsum. Nostrum omnis aspernatur aperiam labore aut laboriosam. Ratione et blanditiis fugiat voluptate rem optio suscipit. Inventore quasi neque tempore aliquid. Natus ab nobis dignissimos adipisci dolorum a aut maiores. Delectus cumque ratione ullam velit consequatur enim veniam facere.

Accusamus debitis aut ullam laboriosam quaerat omnis dolorum. Et expedita reiciendis eum debitis. A nemo et autem.

Laborum qui a inventore. Fugiat qui porro repudiandae.
