I’m interviewing for a hybrid investing & value creation role for a EU-heritage real assets fund.

This is - 1 hr first round after assessment with the managing partner of the US offices. What should I prepare for in interview 1?

Things I’ve prepped for: Story; Why PE/how your consulting background translates; walk me through how to think about investing in X; real deal experience walkthrough

What are my blind spots? E.g., technicals that they’d expect from a strategy consultant
