I have an interview next week for the Private Capital Advisory group at a MM/EB (Lazard, Evercore, PJT).
I know these roles tend to be less technical than M&A/RX groups; beyond typical fit/why this role questions, what should I expect to be asked in terms of technicals? My current role is less modeling intensive so I’d like to be as prepared as possible. Would greatly appreciate insight from anyone who has interviewed for these roles or worked in a similar group.

Hi, PM'd. Did you get any solid feedback on this?
interested as well
It is an interview at Lazard. The only one hiring for that position. Stop hiding.
Seems like this was posted in January, could've been any of those firms.
"Hiding"
Chill out my guy
do you have any info on this position that would help in an interview?
Is this for SA or FT?
This is a Lazard job position in New York for full time analyst. Every graduating senior that haven't secured a full time offer knows about this. LOL
Legit what I said.
The job description sounds like a being a "primer" for PE and funds outside of hedge funds. It's sounds like a cap intro team at a bank.
To everyone speculating about Lazard, it was not Lazard. I have a couple years of experience in the industry and interviewed actually for two firms, both at EBs, for this type of role in Jan/Feb (coincidentally bothcame my way via headhunters in the same week without my seeking them out).
One told me I was great, had only positive feedback, said they were still interviewing candidates but would get back to me. They ghosted me.
The other I felt like I aced the interview, I emailed them after a couple weeks, and they totally ghosted me.
anyone have any info on interviews for these groups? and how to kill the interview?
I was wondering if you can share more about your recruiting experience with this group. I'm very interested in this group and trying to prepare as much as possible. Any expected technical questions or insightful interview tips will be appreciated! Thanks for your help in advance.
did anyone from the lazard pca superday hear back?
Any update on how to prepare technicals for secondary advisory interviews?
Anyone has advice on how to prepare for private capital / secondaries interview please? Intern role
bump :)
pm me if you still require guidance, got some insights from a PCA analyst from a top performing EB
