The PCA group focuses on two main things: fundraising (i.e. raising money for PE funds) and secondaries (selling of PE investments to another PE firm, pretty much PE M&A). Group is easily one of the top private capital groups on the street (along w/ Evercore as main competitor) and they usually have 3 analysts per class. Pretty good culture but work can be somewhat mundane at times (lots of contact logs and organizing emails) and exits are in general "meh" given the M&A/RX groups will recruit better.

FWIW the work tends to be somewhat easier (not much modeling here, mostly PPT) and you will get paid roughly the same (maybe $10-20k of a smaller bonus) as the M&A analysts, but your exits won't be as good and hours will probably be just as long. And to answer the inevitable question people ask: no, working directly with PE firms does not mean you will be able to exit to PE that easily. 

They’re I’m the process already, sorry man

They hire 3-4 people and myself and a friend did 2nd rounds on Tuesday/Wednesday this week
