be prepared to talk about what you think will be good areas to invest in in the near future (types of companies, industries, structure, etc). might be helpful to brush up on some macro trends as well.
Something helpful others have shared with me (I think HerSerendipity...) is to look at the PE shop you're interviewing with and check out what investments they've made recently. Get an idea of why they decided to go with those invts. It would also help you see what their investment approach is.
To the OP, it all largely depends on your background/area of expertise/etc. Post-MBA interviews are pretty different than the normal pre-mba ones. Having said that, it sounds like you're just in for an informational interview so definitely ask questions, know why you want to get into PE, why that particular shop, etc. You should also be able to bridge the gap between your previous work experience and how it could be translatable to a role as a post-mba associate. The expectations of a post-MBA associate, especially at larger PE shops, are that you can hit the ground running with not too much hand-holding and have impact right away.

Have you read any of the PE guides?
Of course. Are there any specific ones you would recommend? I've read the WSO one, pretty basic...

Thanks, appreciate the response.
