Technical questions & modelling test for lateral hire

Hi monkeys,

Does anyone have technical interview question examples for lateral hires (moving from one PE fund to another one on Associate / Senior Associate level)? A lot of information is out there for IB / PE interviews but few about hires from within PE. Doubt questions like the $10 D&A flowing through 3 Statements are still being asked at this stage, or am I wrong?

What technical questions during lateral PE hire have you come across?

Also, how were the model tests compared to the ones for IB -> PE? Building a LBO in 1 hour should probably come as a given after doing it for >1 year 24/7?
