Private Capital Advisory (Secondaries) interview

I have an interview next week for the Private Capital Advisory group at a MM/EB (Lazard, Evercore, PJT).

I know these roles tend to be less technical than M&A/RX groups; beyond typical fit/why this role questions, what should I expect to be asked in terms of technicals? My current role is less modeling intensive so I’d like to be as prepared as possible. Would greatly appreciate insight from anyone who has interviewed for these roles or worked in a similar group.

To everyone speculating about Lazard, it was not Lazard. I have a couple years of experience in the industry and interviewed actually for two firms, both at EBs, for this type of role in Jan/Feb (coincidentally bothcame my way via headhunters in the same week without my seeking them out).

One told me I was great, had only positive feedback, said they were still interviewing candidates but would get back to me. They ghosted me.

The other I felt like I aced the interview, I emailed them after a couple weeks, and they totally ghosted me.

 

I was wondering if you can share more about your recruiting experience with this group. I'm very interested in this group and trying to prepare as much as possible. Any expected technical questions or insightful interview tips will be appreciated! Thanks for your help in advance.
