Hey, I'm just hitting the 1 year mark at my MBB firm where I am a generalist. A fairly large tech focused PE firm reached out to me about interviewing to join their operating team. My understanding is that the operating associates do a lot of hands on work with the portfolio companies, and participate to a limited extent in the DD process. Tbh I think this would be a super easy transition given that I would pretty much continue doing exactly what I am doing now, but instead of with clients with portfolio companies. I will be interviewing for the role soon, and I wanted to get some advice on how I should be preparing. They just told me to "be prepared to talk through the project work that I have done at my MBB" (which will be a breeze). But is there any other area where I should significantly prepare? It's an operations role, so I don't think there will be many of the technical finance questions right? Thanks in advance for the help!
