Given it's recruiting season right now there a couple I would recommend: Capital Interview Experts and Overlevered
Restructuring Interview guides aren't going to be as helpful right now since it is a huge content dump which is great if you have weeks/months to prepare but interviews are going on rn
Would get both CIE and Overlevered if you can but if you had to choose 1 I would lean towards Capital Interview Experts since Overlevered has just Strategic Advisory questions vs CIE which has Strategic Advisory + RSSG + PCS so covers all your bases
RSSG Q - You have an ABL revolver worth $90M secured against $100M in A/R with 85% recoverable value. If $35M is already drawn on the revolver, $10M due to vendors, and $50M in cash, what is the company’s liquidity?
RSSG Ans -Cash represents $50M in liquidity as a base. $10M is due to vendors, so total liquidity before the revolver is used is $40M. The revolver is secured up to $85M, with $35M already drawn: $85M - $35M = $50M left to be drawn. $50M + $40M = $90M total liquidity.
Strategic Advisory Q - A DCFvaluation gives you $250 at a 10% discount rate, 25% tax rate. If your EBIT in the fourth year was actually overstated by $40, what will your correct DCF valuation be?
Strategic Advisory Ans - If EBIT was overstated it means that our DCF valuation of $250 is overstated. To calculate the impact we need to calculate our overstated NOPAT which is $40 * (1 - 25%) = $30. Now we want to discount the $30 overstated NOPAT to PV which is $30/(1+10%)^4 ≈ $20. Therefore the correct DCF valuation is $250 - $20 = $230
Would expect this level of difficulty in interviews - I think the Capital Interview Experts website has more samples think they have 50 or so PJT questions and just an fyi believe there are 3/4 interviews for the super day.

I’m leaning towards Capital Interview Experts but would it be possible to share some PJT-specific sample questions so I can see the quality?
Sure this is 1 for RSSG and Strategic Advisory:
RSSG Q - You have an ABL revolver worth $90M secured against $100M in A/R with 85% recoverable value. If $35M is already drawn on the revolver, $10M due to vendors, and $50M in cash, what is the company’s liquidity?
