Secondary PE

Looking at an Associate spot with a sub $1bn secondary firm. How does the analysis/diligence differ from growth equity (assume more execution than sourcing)? How well does the experience translate into other private buy-side positions, or moving into an operating roll, versus say an M&A Assoc spot w/ a very active ibank? Thanks in advance.
