How did yall prepare coming from a non infra / PUI group? Can think about assets on a high level but don’t know the knotty gritty of the modeling? Ie for a TPG Rise / BX IP how would you suggest being ready?

Learn infra PE technicals if you want to do Infra PE investing. Yes, this requires you to learn infra modelling. If you don't like it or think it's super boring, probably not the field for you. It truly is that simple.
Have tried to do so by reading industry primers and industry reports but any suggestions / resources outside that? Appreciate the help.
Bunch of courses on it that you can purchase. Groups usually have own internal models for you to play around you with. Unfortunately, harder coming from a non-infra group background. Infra is inherently more niche which is both a good thing (if you are in PU&I or infra-adjacent group) and bad thing (if not) for recruiting at these places. I am really interested in the infra space and boader climate world, so happy to constrict myself to it; but if you're coming out of a non-Infra background would really think long and hard as to how much you want to committ to the infra world.
Not at one of these platforms; but if you want to do impact work but not in the energy / infra space; would take a second look at the impact PE firms. KKR Impact EQT's Future fund, Apollo's Impact. Wouldn't go to a TPG Rise / BX Energy Transition; those are more pure play infra players where it's going to be very hard for you to enter in without relevant experience.
Are the interviews that difficult? You don’t think coming from an industrials background is sufficient to get by the interviews. Trying to strategically think through OC, attracted to the infra side but also trad industrial buyouts.
Go for trad industrial buyouts. It's not that it's difficult more so that it's a whole another skill-set and prep that takes away time from your traditional buyout prep / lowers strength of traditional prep. Much better to just focus in one or the other.
Does infra knowledge matter as much for on-cycle recruiting (i.e. will model tests for TPG Rise Climate be specifically tailored towards infra models or general PF models)?
Off-cycle prob puts more emphasis but unsure how it plays out for on-cycle with such a short timeline
