Private Equity VP-Level Interview - Similar to Associate Level?

Hey all,

I'm wondering if there is a substantial difference in the type of interview questions you would get interviewing as someone coming from an investment bank at the VP level instead of the standard junior hires (analyst at IB -> associate in PE).

I assume that there will be a bit more focus on the ability to drive execution, but beyond that, would the typical interview guides that analysts use still be basically applicable?

Thanks!
