Depends on the fund. With growth, the technical modeling is important but not as big of a deal as big LBO players, so don't expect a 5 hour LBO--when I interviewed at a growth place, it was a 90 minute LBO and now that I work here it's more of a valuation exercise with a downside, base, and upside case. You'll probably do a case study as well, where you take a CIM and then create a 5-10 page loop on it, including an executive summary, company overview, market overview, high level comps and return, etc.

Remember, always be kind-hearted.
