Hi, I have a friend who is doing PJTs women program for IBD. Has anyone gone through this process? It’s just a first round and a superday.
Main question is if it’s extremely technical or completely behavioral (only for women’s program)

People need to stop this "I have a friend" bs, we know it's you.
I’m a first year analyst LOL. I have a family friend going thru the process (I’m not a woman hence I’m asking this forum)
bro just get her to make an account tf why are u babying her
can you become my family freind and get me interview too?
PJT’ difficultly gap between actual process and their “accelerated” stuff is wider than anywhere on the street. She’ll be fine.
Thanks! So the technical aspect, would you say, is non existent?
Do people in these accelerated process get a pass as well if they don’t know all the technicals?
Yes and yes. Have a great story — the technicals will be high level at best (on a scale including regular process; it may be harder than, say, JPM).
Hey! I did the women's program. First round was conducted by an HR person so primarily behavorial. Your typical why IB/PJT type questions. Tell her to know her story well. She also asked about my leadership/teamwork experiences and hobbies. The accelerated super day was very technical (I interviewed at a lot of BBs and EBs and PJT was the hardest). I can give more deets on that if your friend gets into the program. Feel free to ask any follow up questions : )
Thanks for the reply! She got into the program! I was wondering if you could maybe give some examples of the types of questions you got for the superday?
Thanks a lot :)
Hey, congrats to her! lots of technical questions on the super day. No paper LBOs or anything but questions on accredition/dilution analysis. Some typical dcf/valuation questions and then asked further questions off that. Questions about revenue models. I'd say just do the advanced sections of the M&I 400 guide and you should be great. I am from a non-finance background so I found the questions hard. Might be a piece of cake for others. I bombed the technicals lol and didn't get an offer.
Interviews with some of the senior people were pretty chilled tho. Very conversational
