Distressed debt

Hello all, I am in the restructuring side of consulting and have the potential to interview for a former hf, now family office that specializes in distressed debt/fi. What things should I understand going into this interview that I normally wouldn’t know coming from the consulting side of restructuring/distressed company that could signify that Id be a good fit for this position. Investment analyst aligns more with what my future goals are and with my interest in finance. Any and all advice appreciated.
