BlackStone Valuation Interview

Howdy, I'm a 1 yoe business valuation analyst at B4. I've been trying to weasle my way into an IB role but woe is me. Anyways, I landed a superday at BlackStone, which I guess probably better positions my career relative to doing valuations at a B4 and will get me closer to IB in a ~1.5-2 year time horizon. Curious if anyone has any insight into the questions they will ask (I think probably I'll be fine, it's valuations after all. I do it all day.), the culture of vals at BlackStone, and practical differences btwn vals for financial reporting and internal portfolio vals for PE firms?
