Recently went through on-cycle for growth equity Associate positions so I can chime in here. Interviews were very heavy behavioral. They wanted to see if I can consistently generate leads for deals as most of these were sourcing shops. You are the flag bearer for the firm and will talk to thousands of CEOs so this part is super important. 

All the final rounds included some sort of case study (Series A investment pitch, Mock sourcing call with seed co, Modeling test 100m ARR co + presentation on investment recc) - Interesting takeaway is how few seats there are in these roles so if you can get your foot in the door then send it.

Ditto, very heavy on behaviorals and little emphasis on modeling or traditional PE analysis. Did not come close to any other PE, IB, PERE or VC interview I've done but pulled small elements from all of these industries.

Consequatur architecto vel similique. Sunt quo quam et nulla aspernatur. Ipsam deleniti eos itaque.
