KKR - CPG (Client Partner Group) - Insights

Hi, 

Does anyone have any insights into CPG (Client Partner Group) at KKR? I have tried looking this up online, but the information is very vague. I understand it is essentially an IR role, but it seems like there are some differences to compared to a traditional IR role.

I'd be interested in hearing:

1. What does the day-to-day look like for someone working in this group?

2. What skills/characteristics would suit someone joining this group?

3. Any tips for the interviews for this group?

4. What would the comp and career progression opportunities look like?

Thanks!
