GE interview in 5 days - what to focus on for prep?

Being added to an accelerated off cycle process for a growth fund that is looking to add an associate asap. Haven't been repping models or prepping much of a talk track on my deals / market interests given the lack of hiring activity.

Any advice on things to focus in order to prep efficiently over the course of the next 5 days? How does the interviews progress? Should I expect a more behavioral first round with more technical aspects towards the later rounds?

Any solid frameworks to use for deal discussions that are geared more towards growth funds and the conversations seen in these interviews?

Thanks in advance

Need more detail - is it traditional growth minority investments or growthy buyouts type of shop? (Basically LBOs based on revenue multiples) if the former you might want to focus more on like cap table / liquidation modeling and the latter should be tech flavored LBOs (recurring revenue, arr loans , growth adjusted rev. Multiples etc)
