I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at The Carlyle Group (London, England)
Interview
The interview is fairly straightforward if you prepare. I did well with most questions however, I did not expect/was not prepared for brain teasers. My advice is to try not to be occupied with other things around the week of the interview - I had my final postgrad thesis due the same week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain PE as you would to an alien. What is the difference between VC and PE? Why are interested in transitioning into PE?
