Best questions to ask C-Suite in a PE Superday?

I have a PE internship super day in 2 weeks with multiple C-Suite members. What are amazing questions to ask them that are 10/10? Any help/advice would be great

Hate to break it to you, but there aren't any 10/10 questions that will always work and always impress.

You need to actually put in the work and tailor your questions to them/their firm. Stop trying to cut corners.

 

literally just asking for advice, chillax. 

I already researched the firm a shit ton, and so has everyone else. I don't know many PE MD's personally, so I was asking what they look for.

…they’re looking for thoughtful candidates who have an interest in a long term career in PE. I always thought this was supposed to be the easiest interview. Are you interested in the partner track? Wouldn’t you want advice? Like you have the most knowledgeable guys in the room about that firm’s investment strategy and you can’t think of any good questions to ask an insider as an aspiring investor?
