Based on the most helpful WSO content, PJT has been noted for its strong compensation, especially in recent years. For example, ASO1-3 total compensation (TC) has been reported in the range of $400k/$500k/$600k, with internal messaging emphasizing a commitment to paying top of the street. While Centerview is often highlighted for its exceptional comp, PJT's performance and bonuses, particularly during record revenue years, have been competitive and well-received by employees.
