I'm going to be having a phone interview for Piper this coming week.
Has anyone one through it, or care to shed some light on what the focus of their questions will be? Obviously, the more detailed you can be, the more I would appreciate it.
Thanks for anything you can give - and feel free to PM if you are uncomfortable posting publicly.

I work in Public Finance for another firm. I don't know what to tell you as far as interview questions- mine really weren't too difficult. I would say compared to corporate finance interviews, they didn't really expect me to know a ton about public finance, since it isn't covered as much in college.
I would just recommend reading up on the industry, specifically the turmoil in the municipal bond industry. If you were able to speak intelligently about Meredith Whitney's comments, and some of the retorts, it would certainly reflect well on you. You also may want to brush up on your fixed income basics and be able to articulate why you are interested in public finance.
Awesome, I appreciate it. Do you mind if I ask where you are doing public finance?
This is for the position in Kansas City I assume?
Whenever I see an interesting job listed on Indeed or the like, I wonder how long it will be before someone else posts about it on WSO...makes me feel like we're all one big happy family...or a hive mind.
Hive mind
:x
Bump, anyone hear anything back?
As I PM'd you, no :(
They probably already had the superday, lol

Piper Jaffray Public Finance? (Originally Posted: 05/18/2013)
Can anyone chime in on working this group?
I was VERY unimpressed by their HR. Personally would never work with them because of that - won't go into details to protect privacy.
They don't employ international students which sucks because there are many alumni from my school really high up at Piper Jaffray. I know an alumni who works in Public Finance and he really enjoys his work. He interned with regular M&A and now picked to work for Public Finance. I can ask him if you'd like. Let me know and PM me.

Anyone know what the Public Finance group is like at Piper? I'm interviewing for a summer internship there? I've done a boutique banking internship before. What is the interview like and what are the responsibilities at the internship?
