Province Firm
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to learn more about Province Firm and what it’s like to work there. From what I gather, they’re involved in restructuring advisory, but I’m not sure about the specifics of the work, the team culture, or their overall reputation in the market. I’d love to hear from anyone who has worked there or knows someone who has. Specifically:
- What kind of clients do they work with, and what’s their typical mandate?
- What is the compensation like for analysts/associates?
- Any general thoughts on the company’s culture or growth trajectory?
Thanks in advance for any insights you can share
I interviewed w them for a SA role and it felt much more like a banking interview but theyre primarily a restructuring consultant. sometimes will work on smaller deals where they sometimes have capacity to play role of banker as well.
not sure if they have specific clients/industries but they will be on pretty much every UCC mandate(unsecured creditor committee
comp is very opaque but consensus is it is much higher than typical because they will have you working longer hours than banking
trajectory is good though, it's pretty consistently in top 5 tables despite being much smaller than big 3. only sample size of 2 but the ppl i interacted w at province seemed to like it/not be assholes, j the hours makes culture a lil irrelevant
Hi would I be able to PM you?
Yes
I interviewed with them around 2020. Consisted of a few phone calls and then a modeling test. I believe at that time they were opening a Stanford office headed by Dunn. But they also have a large presence in Vegas and southeast.
They seemed to focus on UCC mostly and have a huge team.
Everyone I spoke to was smart and seemed cool, but I just had this feeling it would be a real sweatshop. So if you’re a young kid who wants to grind, I’m sure it’s a cool place to spend a few years.
But I’ve never been able to handle actual long hours, so I kind of just ghosted them. I got the same feeling after talking to portage partners. Smart people and good pay, but you’re gonna be working for hardos 24/7 and I just can’t live life like that anymore. But if you’re young and money hungry, I feel like Vegas would be a cool place to live and work for them.
And maybe down the line you can flip the job into something impressive in the space, like Angelo Gordon or pjt.
They must have phased out the old comp structure, was quoted 120-140 based for associates in 2025 w/ 50% target bonus
Did anyone interview for this recruiting cycle and if so what is the timeline looking like for you and the number of interviews?
I know someone who's familiar with the process. This year consisted of an Excel and PowerPoint test, screening interview, behavioral/some technicals, and final interview. Questions for interviews are office dependent, but should lean towards accounting, valuation and restructuring knowledge. I think as interns, they teach the hardest restructuring topics once you are there. This is for FT/Interns btw, not sure about others.
