Apply and don’t suck. Seriously though you just need to apply. Depending on your level companies already expect that you won’t be familiar with certain things (software, unique company issues, team structure, etc). But the idea is that public is more fast paced and so you should be able to catch up now that your focus is only on one company. At least that is my perception of it all
