Interview Help for MSD Capital

Hello, y'all! I was wondering if someone can tell me what an interview at MSD Capital is actually like, especially geared towards sophomores. Is it more behavioral or technical or a mix of both? Are there multiple interviews? And so on. Also, what do yall recommend is the best way to prep?

Haha I guess hope you summered at GS or were an analyst at GS for starters now that Lemkau is leading the management team there. And I'm not just making a quip here, I do feel that hiring will be skewed towards GS alum/connects, especially if it comes down to the wire between two folks
