Why KKR?
Why IR?
Tell us about your background and why you have done what you have.
What do you think will be the most interesting KKR strategy to an investor?
Two 30 minute interviews and a super day with two back to back interviews. Everyone I spoke to was freindly and put a big emphasis on finding a cultural fit. The technical questions were expected and no curve balls.

Question 1
What differentiates KKR from other comepting firms?
Challenging but fair. If you have good understanding coming in you'll be fine (but need to know concepts not memorized answers). I'd prioritize having a general understanding of the market as well.
