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

 

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

 

Awesome, thanks. I was just extremely skeptical at first, as taking a look at the analysts, I see a vast majority of them went to mega-targets like Wharton, MIT, Harvard, so wasn't sure if even having an top junior summer internship would help.
