Would you say it’s possible to get an interview if I am doing a summer at PJT in their secondaries group? It’s investment banking but not the M&A team

Absolutely possible to get from a non-top school or summer internship (the door is not closed to begin with) but obviously requires some networking and an excellent interview. But both have happened

 

How about from a top bank but not the best ground? E.g PJT Secondaries?
