Hi,
The interview process is going the be exactly the same as per a Generalist Analyst (e.g., fit + case, the same number of interviews and rounds).
The only difference is that;
- Your interviewers are going to be experts in the "knowledge" field, meaning that they know what they are talking about
- Cases are going to be much more oriented on the "knowledge" topic, thus if you apply as a "Banking Analyst", cases are going to be about banks and they are going to expect a deeper knowledge from you vs. generalist candidates
Hope it helps!

Dear A,
The structure of the process is the same, unless you will have cases according to your position.
Best,
André
