I have an Equity Research phone interview with a hiring manager tomorrow. What type of questions should I expect?

If interviewer is an analyst -
What s your story, Why do you want to do ER, What about the particular sector interests you, why do you want leave your current firm (if already in ER), what stock do you like and why
If interviewer is DOR/ Associate DOR-
Same as above, more focused on why you want to do ER
If HR recruiter -
background, why you want to switch
Thank you! I made it to the next phase. I have to do a financial modeling and writing test. What type of model should I be expecting and what’s the writing going to be based off?
It's probably filling in numbers using a quarterly earnings press release, along with writing your own commentary about the quarter.
The easy form would literally be filling in the income statement numbers so that the diluted EPS and adjusted figures (EBITDA / EPS) match the press release and calculate some ratios (inventory turnover, etc.). The hard form (which Morgan Stanley does) is you need to fill in numbers in all three statements for the quarter and link the three statements together and make some forecasts while the balance sheet balances.
Good luck.
