Clever questions to ask to PE Partner

Hi,


What would be clever and interesting questions to ask a PE partner in the final round of a recruitment process? This is for UK / Continental Europe


Appreciate it! Thank you

 
  • What is the most interesting deal you've ever worked on?
  • If you were [your age here], what would you tell yourself as you entered a career in PE?
  • What is the framework / heuristic that you most rely upon in investing (e.g., for example I think Marks' opinion that you should never feel bad if your investment fails because of a risk you identified but decided to invest anyway, but if your investment fails because you did not properly identify all risks, you're a shit investor)
    • This might be a harder question to communicate but I think maybe the most interesting
