Private equity originations analyst scam?

So I just got an email back to go to a first round interview for a private equity originations analyst position. Honestly applied to this without looking and thought it was a REPE acquisitions role lol. Looking at the description it’s a sales role where I’d be cold calling and emails CEOs to get them to sell. I’ve never seen a gig like this for an analyst.

Does anyone know what comp would look like? 100% commission?

Should I pass on this? I’m in undergrad rn - is it a poor learning experience?

Thanks
