Interviewing at an EB's PCA group, not sure what to expect in terms of technicals. Prepared secondaries knowledge, but outside of that what can I expect? Is there a lot of traditional IB techs? Does anyone have any experience with PCA interviews?
Thank you, help is appreciated.

Firm dependent - more important to come across as genuinely interested in the type of PCA the group does, have credible reasoning why not coverage/M&A, and come across as likable
Search bar - been talked about many times before on what to expect
Thank you for the response, and yes that does make sense.
Re search bar: have read just about every thread, but wanted a more updated viewpoint & any insights on specific questions that are commonly asked.
Bro rlly asking for interview questions on an online forums lmao. But in broad strokes the EB PCA groups ask a lot of normal EB technicals to screen ppl out. Expect typical EB M&A interviews (maybe won’t have to worry about acq/dil)
PCA isn't technical on the job but you're expected to know the classic IBD technicals for interviews. Focus will be on what secondaries are, why they happen and how they work.
Read up on some of the half year reports and know a few figures / trends.
Yes definitely been focusing on secondaries knowledge, but will dial in on IB techs too. Would you happen to know if there tends to be a sub-focus (accounting, LBO, etc) or more general like any other IB interview?
Thank you for your help.
do you have an update on your interview? I have one tmr and wondering the same in terms of techs?
Bump - do you have any updates on what came up for techs?
