Undergrad PE 2025 Interview / FT recruiting IB.

Have an upcoming interview at a MM PE firm. for SA 2025 role.

Curious as to how different the process may be different from IB? Specific technicals? any advice welcome.

Part 2 would be how to have good conversations on how their return for FT process is / if it is possible. Heard from a few folks that PE FT offers are rare from summer internship pipeline. Any thoughts on this would be helpful as the opportunity is great but may end up hurting if it results in FT IB recruiting after the summer.
