You've got a PE job...now what?

So lets assume you've accepted a job offer for a mm pe fund, 8 months into your banking career. What do you do now? What's the best way to prepare over the coming months? What's the best way to keep in touch with the firm you're going to work for, considering that's still over a year away? Would love to hear opinions from some of the older monkeys who have made the transition
