Preparing for PE Associate role?

Hi - I’ll be starting as a PE associate at an UMM / MF in a few months, where I’ll be focusing on tech / hc services. I have around 1.5 - 2 years of BB banking experience. Have some time off before I start, and wanted to see if people could offer some advice on how to best prepare for the job? I’ve been reading up on the industry a bit more, but anything else I should read / brush up on? Anything that current PE associates wish they were better at before they started?

Thanks in advance!
