Major differences between R1 and R2 M interviews? Cases, PEI expectations, etc? Any tips / tricks on making a good impression?

Same structure and format. Difference is r2 will be APs and Partners - so chance that they are less structured and formal doing the case, and may ask more questions off the cuff. In their mind will be thinking “do I feel comfortable putting this candidate in front of my senior clients for a big meeting” as well. But otherwise prep for it the same way, use the feedback from your R1, and just be yourself! Let your personality be another data point for the interviewers
