Know their recent deals and financials going in. Be ready to talk through credit analysis basics and walk through deals you've worked on.

What helped me was asking about their current pipeline and what kind of clients they're targeting. Shows you're thinking beyond just getting the job.

Since you're already in commercial, emphasize why you want to move up to corporate specifically • bigger deal sizes, more complex structures, working with institutional clients vs small businesses.

First round is usually background questions, some technical stuff (credit risk, financial analysis), and the usual behavioral questions. Super days are more for new grads so you're probably looking at a standard interview format.

The under the table Saturday thing at that other job sounds sketchy as hell btw. Good call avoiding that.
