Post-Interview Questions (SASO / VP versus ASO)
Had a coffee chat / informational interview with a VP level at another firm (I'm actively recruiting for a lateral firm) and got informal feedback that my questions were more geared toward the ASO level than really fit for SASO or VP. For context, I mostly asked about this firm's investing style, levers for growth, diligence priorities, etc.
I'm kinda stumped on how to receive this feedback, though I'm trying to credit it and not just chalk it up to the VP having a bad day or whatever. I've steered clear of Partner-level questions ("how do you win business on your own?") for fear of seeming presumptuous about sourcing at the top levels like Partners and operating level folks might be doing. And the most distinctive "quarterbacking" questions I'd ask of a VP seem silly, though distinctive. "How do you make sure your workstreams stay on track?" is a totally valid and relevant question that's specific to the midlevel, but the answer is also obvious: having basic ownership-related and organizational skills, just applied to workstreams. It has always felt like asking a quarterback how they make sure to receive snaps well; totally distinctive and accurate and part of the job, but also missing the point a little in terms of the fund's overall strategy.
Does anyone have tips on how I can manage this feedback going forward for both informational and real interviews at this level?
