I'm a junior, and I've been interviewing with an mm PE firm for the summer. I've had a recruiter and technical interview and just finished my third round with a partner. I was told there are still 1-2 more rounds before offers. Is this typical? What should I expect from the next rounds?

Recruiter screen barely counts as a round. I would say this is typical. I'd expect more partner interviews or other seniors
