Ares SSG Asia

I’m interviewing with Ares special situation and credit investment team in APAC, understand they have a lean team in the region and may do things very differently than US, still I’d appreciate if anyone can provide some color on their recruiting process (even non-Asia office would be helpful) What type of questions they like to ask and how should I prepare?

BG: currently a generalist at a BB (which means we don’t do restructuring deal, but I had RX exposure thru previous internship at a boutique)
