Ha, thanks for the shout out, Kanon!

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.
