PJT 1st Round Video Interview

Hey Guys,

I just got a first round video interview with PJT Partners for the next summer and was wondering if anyone knows how technical the interview will be?

Any input is appreciated.

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“ulian gave me a clear, realistic plan for breaking into IB from a non-target school. He broke my prep into 50% technicals, 40% behaviorals and 10% networking, and explained why I should be interview-ready before doing heavy coffee chats instead of networking first. That changed how I'm spending my time. He pointed me to the WSO courses and the 400-question guide with short daily drills, and I've already started working through them. He also helped me see my coaching business as a real differentiator instead of something unrelated to finance, and told me to build 7 strong "why hire me" stories, which led me to book a 7 Stories session with him. His advice on my sophomore summer was practical: any finance-adjacent role with transaction exposure is a win. He was encouraging and easy to talk to, and he explained the recruiting timeline clearly. The one thing that would make it even better is a short written checklist of next steps at the end of the session, so I can track progress before our next meeting.”

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“Benjamin reviewed my LinkedIn in real detail and came back with a long list of specific changes, from my headline and About section down to individual experience bullets. Each point came with a clear rationale, so I understood why it mattered to recruiters in finance and could apply the same thinking elsewhere. I've worked through the entire list and my profile is far stronger for it. Not one point was vague or generic. I'd recommend Benjamin to anyone who wants practical, line-by-line feedback.”
