Starting a job in a private equity fund that buys european non performing loans. What do I need to know?

As the title says, I am starting a new job in a private equity fund that specializes in buying non performing loans from large european banks.

I come from a banking background and looking for advice from anyone who has previously worked in the sector.


What is crucial to know? Would would benefit me? And mistakes to avoid?
