Technical Behavioral
About a month after applying, I got a call about an interview. It was a quick one, they asked some basic questions. I think they don't hire off-cycle much unless you're a perfect fit, even though I did well on the technical parts like stock pitch, deal pitch, DCF walkthrough, and accretion dilution.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
You'll start with a recruiter call where you'll talk about your education and career, especially your history with the firm. Then, there's a part where you introduce yourself and walk through your resume, with a big focus on your education and past work experience. After that, you'll get hit with technical questions about valuation methods and accounting stuff. You'll also need to pitch a stock or industry, either bullish or bearish, and really sell why you picked it over others. There will be some behavioral questions too. Finally, you get a chance to ask the recruiter some questions.
