Investment Banking Analyst looking to break into Investor Relations at a PE fund

Currently am a 2nd year IB analyst at an elite boutique in NYC. Been a great experience but I am looking to move into an Investor Relations role at a PE firm. Can y'all help with the following questions I got below? Thank you in advance!

- What is day-to-day life like and typical responsibilities for analyst/associate?

- Interview process and type of questions asked? how technical?
