Growth Equity Interviews
Interested in hearing about growth equity interviews from people who have gone through the process recently (last 1-3 years). What kinds of questions are asked? Are there case studies / modeling tests, and if so, what are those like?

Recently went through on-cycle for growth equity Associate positions so I can chime in here. Interviews were very heavy behavioral. They wanted to see if I can consistently generate leads for deals as most of these were sourcing shops. You are the flag bearer for the firm and will talk to thousands of CEOs so this part is super important.
All the final rounds included some sort of case study (Series A investment pitch, Mock sourcing call with seed co, Modeling test 100m ARR co + presentation on investment recc) - Interesting takeaway is how few seats there are in these roles so if you can get your foot in the door then send it.
Which firms go on-cycle now? My understanding was that most growth funds were off-cycle, and on-cycle was limited to just the growth arms of MFs/HFs and a few others e.g. ICONIQ, maybe Summit/TA?
Ditto, very heavy on behaviorals and little emphasis on modeling or traditional PE analysis. Did not come close to any other PE, IB, PERE or VC interview I've done but pulled small elements from all of these industries.
How did you prepare for these kinds of things (mock sourcing call, etc)?
