Hi there,
My understanding is that it is essentially the same (case + fit), but you should of course expect more emphasize on PE-related topics.
That said, nothing beats hearing it straight from the horse's mouth! If you've been invited to interview, ask the person who invited you (the recruiter who emailed you) what to expect for the interview.

No. Recruiting process is the same. In both tracks you may get PE and Non-PE cases for your case interview.

Hi!
No, but you might have higher chances of getting a PE-related case.
Good luck,
Anto

You can expect a fundamentally similar process.
In the best scenario, you will get a case relevant to PE. Otherwise, you may get a generic case as well.
