Going into PE FT

Hi,

I know this is still a bit early, but I am hopping to recruit into PE full time - currently 3rd year with a 2023 SA position lined up at an EB (LAZ/EVR/CVP/PJT). I don’t know too much about PE recruiting so thought I might as well research now so I know what to prepare. Was wondering if anyone has any tips on getting a FT position in PE (hopefully MFPE). Also my internship will be on the west coast but want to go to NY full time.
