PJT - Strategic Advisory Interview. Help!
Hi guys, I've been lucky to land an interview at PJT Partners in their strategic advisory team and am desperate to get an offer - they seem like a great cultural fit and the role is for NYC which is a step up for me in terms of my career given I work in a region that has less deal flow and exposure.
I've been doing lots of prep and understand that they're known for having difficult interviews, especially on the technical side where they test more than just the classic DCF, Merger Model and LBO questions. e.g. how do you value a convertible bond?
I think I may be overcooking it a bit and preparing too much for these left field questions I wont be able to anticipate. Was wondering if anyone has any recommendations in terms on what I should focus on for the next 48 hours?
So far I'm preparing for a paper LBO for a live discussion, and a modelling test (by practicing modelling and reviewing my accounting knowledge.)
Thank you!
Look at their recent transaction and try to understand the main metrics and rationale. Would also try to understand what really sets them apart from other shops and make sure you show that you really understand their business and competitive advantage. After that, relax because it's just an interview and if this doesn't work, you will have many other chances.
What was the interview like? What did they ask?
