I was contacted by a headhunter after completing two years in investment banking. My interviews included meeting with an HR person and then meeting with several members of the private equity team in one on one interviews. At the end of the interviews, I had to take a modeling exam. Using filings for a public company I built an LBO model from a blank excel and then I explained it to a couple interviewers and answered questions about the company and my model inputs. I had a few hours to do the model.

The interviews were very fit based. Not many technical questions. Mostly walk through resume, talk about deals you worked on, etc. All of the interviewers were very nice.
