What are typical technical questions that boutiques (e.g., MTS, Lazard) ask during interviews?

Same as any other investment bank (seriously). Though boutique, I would not compare Lazard with MTS, however. Lazard is far more prestigious and competitive. It also has broader practices such as restructuring versus MTS which is plug and play I-banking, just for healthcare.
