Best way to prep for PE / Growth Equity job starting in ~6 months?

I'm currently a third year analyst, leaving in July for a new role at growth equity shop (GA / Insight / TA / Summit type fund)

At this point I feel like I've become pretty efficient at day-to-day banking tasks / built up enough goodwill that I can finish things quickly and have a little bit of time to prep for my next job. I've heard some horror stories from other friends about not feeling prepared for PE after banking; does anyone have any advice, or anything they wish they had done prior to starting? Thank you in advance!
