Behavioral Case
I got in touch with someone through a recruiter and then had a chat with a mid-level person on the team. The interview went well, and then I was given a case study to do. I finished the case study and didn't make any mistakes, but I haven't heard back since submitting it.

Behavioral Technical Other
Had a quick behavior and resume review that lasted about 30 minutes. Then, there were two rapid mental math questions. One was about IRR, and the other was about waterfall profit and LP percentages, which are typical private equity questions that can be prepared for easily. Wrapped up with a chance to ask the interviewer questions. The interviewer didn't seem very engaged and didn't show much interest.
