PJT SA 2022
Thought I’d create the megathread here to keep us all in the loop. The RX app closed yesterday—does anyone have an idea of when first rounds are released? Thanks everyone and good luck to y’all

Bump, was told it would start very shortly (in the next week or two)
That’s hype fam
Does anyone know what to expect for the diversity program? Will interviews be conducted on the spot and how are you selected to interview for a specific group?
TF Pjt rx and special situations is due April 4....
You’re right, I think they’re re diversity.
Has the M&A app opened yet?
thats not opening for a HOT minute lmao
Really? Lol do they do M&A a lot later than Rx recruiting?
It just did
Haha just saw that too. Gonna apply today because I already have the Suited done.
RX first rounds just came out (I’m at non-W) target. Good luck to everyone
Non-diversity?
bump, if so imma be pissed lol
Got a first round at a non-target. Good luck y’all
Well done! Are you diversity?
No non diversity non target. Honestly really surprised as I didn’t have much hope on PJT
did u talk to a lot of analysts??
Also got a first (semi-target non-diversity program female). Spoke with an analyst that said they'll have another wave in a week or two so there is still time to network and get in
Did the analyst specify whether the 2nd wave would be for all schools (target/semi-target/non-target)?
Can anyone else confirm that there will be a second wave?
has anyone heard back about an offer for strategic advisory yet (via diversity program, mon/tue superday)?
My friend just got an offer from diversity
did your friend accept? i just accepted my offer for strategic advisory new york 2022 and would love to get a chat going
Did anyone hear back for an actual date for the interview? I put in my time slots but did not hear back
Got one for Thursday. Notified last night.
Did you submit your availabilities Monday? Just wondering because I put mine as next week so I’m thinking maybe they’ll notify closer to interview date.
Which diversity program was that? Women?
Actual info from analyst:
Pjt rssg only has two target schools: H + W. All the other schools are at level playing field.
you must be non target
Not true. My school sent multiple analysts to RSSG's NY group last year (like 8-10 analyst class size) and not H/W. Multiple are going to NY group this year and multiple are summering this year too,
anyone know generally when superday offers are sent out/notified? Like in a week or two? (already did 1st round)
pm me
Anyone already do first round and able to share questions?
As said in another thread, why tf would they share questions with you if they are competing directly against u.... lmfao
Yeah happy to help!
Tell me about yourself
Why ib
Why RX
Why pjt
Tell me about a time you overcame a challenge
$10 depreciation
Walk through dcf
Difference between chapter 11 and chapter 7
338(h)(10) theory questions (really dug in here)
3 main valuation methods
Any questions for us?
Overall a bit above average difficulty so make sure you hit the books hard!
Thanks for sharing! Just curious, is there only one RX technical?
Pro tip: hit up the incoming first years (ppl who did their summer there) on LinkedIn. They’ll still remember the first round questions and will have more time to help you.
I’m sorry but these comments are retarded. Hi had my interview a few hours ago and my friend that went Tuesday afternoon had COMPLETELY different questions than me.
If you need to know previous questions then you will NOT get an offer be you have not prepared enough. Cramming from this point on won’t save you either
It’s just a banking interview don’t really see how hard it can be
For those of you that got first rounds nontarget nondiversity how many people did you speak with?
Is there a second wave of first rounds for RX? When is the first super day?
bump
Has anyone heard back about superdays?
Superday invitations should go out today.
I haven’t got anything. Did you get yours already?
Anyone hear back from first rounds yet?
Just have a second X chromosome and you’re golden.
Otherwise, prepare for a technical reaming.
Any updates on this?
Anyone got RX offer?
Did you also have the superday today?
When did you get notified about Superday?
Yep, have you heard back?
Can someone post the updated historical exits slide for PJT RSSG from the info session in early March? Was absolutely absurd and the previous WSO data is out of date
Just know that they probably have the best exit in banking
aren't the slides from the info session confidential? don't think they would appreciate people distributing in WSO
anyone going to the LGBT Roundtable tomorrow or has been in the past? any idea what to expect? will it result in accelerated interviews? anything helps, thanks
I went but it seems like we don't get any benefit?
Just received a first round from their SF office
Did they finish RSSG recruiting? If I had an offer from a MF Credit, could I leverage for an interview?
Nope, they’re done
Does anyone know when PJT Strategic Advisory NY non-diversity start interviewing? Networked with a couple analysts and submitted application, but haven't heard back for a while now
For a while? Didn't apps open in May or did I just apply late?
Ah no you're right. I messed up because I networked with the analysts a while ago. The application did just open recently - my bad
Any update on timeline?
bump. saw app is open but heard interviews start july?
Following
Kicks off July for non-diversity, interviews in early August. Welcome.
Is this for M&A?
What does kick-off in July mean if interviews are in August? As in they gonna spend a month reviewing apps?
Apps close July 4th, and first rounds will come out end of July/early August. Prolly the latest of the EB's
Anyone else just get a suited invite?
Yeah I just got one too. Wonder if it's selective.
I got one too
Same
Yup. Is there anyone who didn't?
I did not get one, but I do think I completed one right after I applied if I remember correctly
Does anyone have advice for getting in touch with analysts as a non-target?
Did anyone else get a general update email from them
I did not. What did it say?
Yes I did
I didn't. What they'd say?
i didn't either and networked really hard. are those who got it target or nontarget?
Who have you talked to? I've spoken to an MD, VP, and As and also didn't receive email. But I think it's because we already did suited.
I completed the suited a while ago and still got it
Mine didn’t mention anything about completing it
Damn hope I am not dinged yet
Yea my email had nothing to do with the suited profile
Any idea as to what exactly the suited profile means? I got the email a while ago but nothing has happened since. Is there simply no significance to it in terms of progress?
Do these guys accelerate non diversitya?
What offer do you have
that was not my question
I notice the deadline was July 4th but it is still up on the site. Can you still apply?
Anyone get anything yet or have any updates on the timeline?
First rounds come out on the 29th
Thanks!
Source?
anyone struggling to get people on the phone with them for strategic advisory NYC?
Yes, not getting anything even from alumni.
^
Maybe they were instructed not to answer networking emails to make the process more fair like with JPM? Or maybe the email server blocks/doesn't allow responses to .edu emails?
delete
did you get your process accelerated with another offer or SD?
what group and location???
delete
anyone got one for NY?
Received interview invite email
NYC IBD? Did anyone else?
Which office?
No have not heard back from NYC. Just Boston and Houston I received invite email.
Anyone got an invite from NY SA?
Been told they're coming out next week. It could be the 29th like someone above said but I don't know for sure
Got it. Thanks!
Can confirm. Was told similar timeline (last week of July)
Was told by an A1 that first rounds for NY strategic advisory will be 8/2-8/6
Secondary advisory first round invites are out
Not M&A strategic advisory correct?
I applied to both groups and haven’t heard back from strategic advisory yet
Anyone know if they accelerate if you have another offer?
Got a first round invite for Strategic Advisory - NYC
Same here
Damn automated one or personally addressed? Talked to two senior bankers and ASO and heard nothing :(
Automated one so sorry but I think you might've been cut. For what it's worth recruiting is so random, didn't even get a first-round after a ton of networking at RBC, MS, CS, UBS, and WF, but got SDs with Moelis, Evercore, and PWP where I did little to no networking.
Do they accelerate if you have another offer?
Not to my knowledge. Tried accelerating with them when I received an offer with a top BB earlier this summer (think GS/MS/JPM) by reaching out to a contact who was in charge of recruiting for my school and didn't work at all.
Pls PM me I would love to ask you a question, I did the same
Did any non target non diversity get the first round for PJT strategic advisory? Or all u guys target/diversity?
Bump
I'm non-diversity and afaik my school is non-target for PJT
got first round for M&A NYC. non target non diversity, but networked a lot.
Damn networked hard too but didn't get first round. Good luck though
Has everyone received their NY first round invites at the same time or have they been scattered? Haven't heard back yet but don't want to lose all hope yet in case they're still sending them out slowly today...
Someone told me that there will be invites tomorrow too but if you don't hear back by end of day then you're cut. Not sure how reliable intel is but hopefully we can get one tomorrow.
Anyone get any invites today/know how many people are usually invited for first rounds?
It's usually been just one day of invites for each group (Park Hill, Strategic Advisory) in the past.
delete
Does anyone have any news from HR/recruiting team? Is this end of the road for PJT? no more first rounds expected next week?
Does anyone know how many ppl they have already taken from the diversity program? Also how many ppl they sent a first-round invite to? I'm a diversity and target for PJT i guess
Does anyone have any insight into the interview process? I have heard historically first round is mostly technical, was curious if that would be similar this year
Looking at WSO interview database looks like past couple of years have had behavioral and technical ranging from accounting changes to paper LBOs/DCFs.
Anyone know how fast they get back after first rounds?
Did you have yours already? Was it all technicals?
