I’ve got a sophomore offer, but I’m really interested in recruiting PJT RSSG for junior year, however, it doesn’t make sense for me to take PJT M&A over my current bank. Is there any way to find out which group you’re in before taking your offer?
Thanks

You shouldn't worry about this, they only recruit on a group by group basis
Oh that’s perfect. So I apply directly to RSSG?
Yup
how did you get PJT for your sophomore summer
he didnt? he says he has a soph offer and wants to rerecruit
Congrats on MS! You obviously didn’t deserve the offer and you’re a diversity hire since you’re asking elementary questions like this!
i was thinking bofa the way he thinks his junior offer is guaranteed
This is a thread about PJT not how to get a return offer, you are overanalyzing
I’m a diversity hire for my current bank because I didn’t know how PJT recruiting works the during summer after my freshman year?
Every sophomore BB hire, minus 2-3 at BofA (which I know you aren’t a part of since PJT M&A > BofA), is a diversity hire.
Sure im diverse but i guess the part that im more honed in on is that you implied that I didn’t deserve my bank because I didn’t know how PJT recruiting works
Well first of all, you’re a diversity hire so you definitely don’t deserve the internship. Secondly, someone who has a shot of landing PJT, not even RSSG, already knows how basic IB recruiting works lol (especially with something as basic as the distinction between M&A and RX recruiting).
Holy shit dude please go outside
It does feel like you’re projecting a lil bit. 2026 SA doesn’t kick off for another 4 months it’s ok if this person doesn’t know how it works
"You're diversity, so you don't deserve the job exclusively limited to diversity candidates."
Holy shit. Get a grip.
How many groups are you allowed to apply to at PJT?
In the last couple cycles RSSG has recruited months before M&A so I don’t think there’s a limit at all. Generally different subsets of kids targeting each group.
Congrats on your offers, do you mind if I PM to ask a few questions? Confused how to find an go about sophomore summer programs.
Have u tried this search engine called Google?
It does not seem like you even know what RX is. You seem to be chasing RSSG for prestige reasons. I would put more emphasis into discerning what you’re interested in before you progress.
What is even the basis of this claim
Probably that if you knew more about what RX is and how it works, you wouldn’t have posted the topic.
Also, only asking about PJT and no other RX teams makes you seem like a prestige hound.
how did you alr get an offer if you're only 2 days into your sophomore year?
diversity is paradise
From my understanding, PJT RSSG and M&A recruits in separate timelines. RX tend to recruit in advanced than M&A. I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to recruit for both, but since you are only interested in PJT RSSG, you should try to learn more about the group and industry.
You definitely aren’t getting an RSSG 1R with this question, and your diversity status won’t help you at all. RSSG’s class this year was: 4 white males, 3 asian/indian males, and 2 asian women. Good luck!
Buddy stop projecting 💀
