Human Capital consultant here applying to MBB. On the chance I don’t get an offer this round, out of the Big 4 which should I target and which practice within each firm should I apply to gain the skill set needed to enter into MBB?

Happy Wednesday everyone. I'm so excited, I have a recruiter call scheduled with @Meta for Administrative Partner position. I've been in my current employer role for 19 years and I'm nervous as heck. I haven't had to do an interview in so long. Can someone please tell me what to expect with the recruiter call? I'm assuming it will be mostly about the role, my skills and background? Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks
