Hi, I’ve been through five rounds so far at a megafund (case, director interview, etc). I now have a 30 min zoom with a partner. What are questions I might get asked? I’m assuming it’s a fit/personality check?

100% personality. Just give cookie cutter answers and nothing autistic.
should I have a more relaxed vibe? idk if you mean autistic as in robotic or retarded lol
You’re overthinking at this point. They want to hire you after 5 rounds. He’s making sure you’re a fine person to work with. It’s hard to give him evidence of the contrary in a 30 minute zoom. Just be normal and don’t take unnecessary risks
I was actually asked quite a bit about my deals, so prepare for that as well
