Carlyle Tech PE (DC Office) Interview Guidance Please

Hello,

I am very excited to have a first conversation with the fund and I am very interested in Tech (nerd here but anyway). How do I prepare myself well throughout the recruiting process with them?

Should questions about why Tech buyout and discuss about my past deals be expected for the first call?

I have not done any 3 hours LBO prep case yet but I am going to.

If you have any tips, please share with me and I appreciate it. Thanks 🙏
