Private Equity Internship

Hi everyone,

I received an interview offer for an unpaid private equity internship at a private equity firm this week. What's the best way to prepare for this interview? Should I expect any technical questions or just behavioral questions? The firm is a growth equity fund rather than a buyout firm btw.
