How to prep for Growth Equity recruiting?

Tons of material on this site about prepping for PE on-cycle recruiting, but what about for growth? Are cases similar at groups like Ga or Insight to that of the traditional PE firms, and how much do they care about modeling? Any advice from people in the industry or familiar with the process would be awesome.

For reference, about to start FT and considering doing on-cycle for growth.

EDIT: Also interested in other smaller funds recruiting processes (CapitalG, Dragoneer, ICONIQ, etc)

Went through the process for an analyst position at a GE firm. The role was operational rather than investment focused. The interviews were a mix of business case interviews (imagine consulting style cases but focused on tech companies), behavioral/fit (why this firm, why this industry, etc.), and technical behavioral fit (tell us about an industry/investment that is compelling). No financial modeling necessary, although that may be because it wasn’t an investment role. 

 

Above is accurate. Especially important to have a couple interesting companies and compelling investment theses on each because you 100% will be asked that
