Did you have to do a math tests before getting the AC offer?
I'm basing this off what I heard from my Buddy's experience doing an AC at another EB (Evercore and PTJ).
Technicals
1st round at AC, Paper math test - Evercore
1st round at AC, Paper LBO model - PTJ
1st round at AC, Presentation/pitchbook (take home and present to interviewer on the day of AC) - Evercore
1st round, Basic technicals questions - Covered in 400 question guide.
Behavioural question.
Basic shit, get your STAR method down and some cute stories.
No trick questions/guesstimates,. Just technicals and behavioural.
This was for summer positions.
PWP might follow similar structure, expect OC to be more technical than summer.
Let me know how your experience was, as I plan to apply for OC opps next year
and thanks for the advices! Btw ud didnt hear about case study ?
Seems you have muddled a few details up from your friend. Did both processes last year. passed pjt, failed evercore.
pjt: round 1 -> technical (medium difficulty), round 2 -> AC:2 behavourials(md/vp - set structure so pretty easy) +1 technical(hard with paper lbo)
evercore: round 1 -> technical pre recorded interview(easy difficulty), round 2 -> Wiser technical interview (Medium difficulty), round 3-> AC:maths test (medium-hard difficulty with some finance related maths), pre-made individual presentation(medium difficulty - can be harder for some if they did dcf/ddm/lbo etc instead of comps), in person group presentation(hard difficulty - this is where I believed I got dinged because the follow up questions scaled and others were stronger at tackling them), 2 behavioural interviews(1 senior md, 1 vp - smd interview felt relativelyunstructured and there were a few curveballs asked so I would say medium difficulty).
Paper LBO was definitely the hardest thing I had to do for a summer but overall the process was easier than evercore. So yes, evercore was a little bit harder but heard pjt can be brutal if you had prior rx experience. PWP will likely be just below this level of difficulty, same with other eb's except laz/roths, both of which have a considerable amount of summer analysts walking in with 0 technicals asked prior(Speaking from experience!!!). Overall, prepare for an evercore level process (I think pwp also does a post ac maths test which is the very basic Dartmouth one) and do a little bit of paper lbo practice just incase then you are set. 4+ months is moreee than enough time to prep this.
Hey,
Ive done a 15mn call then an 1h interview with technicals & behavioral questions with darmouth.
And then he told me nxt step is AC ; didnt hear bout any maths tests.
A priori, it will be in in zoom given that im on paris! And its process for an off cycle on london.
I will keep yall posted.
