The application closed last week but I was wondering if anyone had insight into recruiting for this group? Last I heard, first rounds should come out this week with a superday in early September.

Source for first rounds coming out this week?
Spoke to someone inside the group. What have you heard?
Did anyone get a first-round yet for this group?
Bump - are first rounds out?
Bump - Has anyone interviewed with this group yet?
got an email today regarding first rounds
Did you get the superday?
Also received first round invite. Anyone have insight into the interview process? What kind of technicals does this group like to ask?
Don't have any insights for this group, but the ECM first round was 2 1x1 30 minute interviews, 90% behavioral based 10% soft technicals, so if they share formats it shouldn't be that bad.
Analyst told me this year to expect a lot more techs based on the feedback they recieved
Did any non-targets get an interview?
Did anyone else hear back regarding when their interview is? I sent in my preferences but haven't heard back.
Bump
Nope, have not heard yet
can you let me know when you do
Is PCA a niche product group in investment banking, or is it a separate support group?
Very niche product group. It’s technically investment banking but not in a traditional sense - you won’t be working on M&As/LBOs...
Thanks king, I'd give you a silver banana if I could afford it
How are people preparing for the interview? I am flying in blind rn. Don't have any idea as to what I could possibly expect.
Read up on secondaries and secondary deal types (fund restructurings, tender offers, stapled transactions...). Understand why investors are drawn to secondaries (J curve, IRR, risk/return profile...). Read up on fund valuations and Net Asset Value. Practice your technicals, specifically accounting, valuation, and maybe LBOs
Has anyone had their interview? How was it?
Bump
Bump
Bump - Any info on 2nd rounds?
I heard the second rounds came out. Did anyone not get second rounds?
Bump - did anyone get a second round?
Yes
do you know others who got it?
Anyone indicated their availabilities but not scheduled for 2nd round yet?
think that they’ll get back to us a couple of hours before the interview. What was the gap like before your first round and calendar inv? I had only 3 hours.
Was getting the second-round invite selective or did everyone who got the first round get the second round?
How were people's 2nd round interviews?
bump
It was aight
how technical was it? was it straight out of the guide or like more in-depth? and any LP/GP questions?
Bump
Anyone else get a superday invite?
I got an invite. Did you hear back regarding when it is for you?
No not yet
do you think they invited everyone to the superday lol?
lol i actually think so
Honestly I don’t think so. On the forum some people have been saying they were dinged / didn’t get an invite to the next round. Also it might make sense for them to do a first/second round without cutting, but there’s no way they would waste the time of their VPs on interviewing potential SAs who didn’t get a good rec from their first round. Do y’all know others in the process (aka do you go to a target) and if so did anyone get dinged?
Was the superday super selective?
Anyone knows how many people did they take in previous classes?
no idea but someone I spoke to said they were looking to take 3-5 interns. Def a growing group and activity is back to normal so COVID should not affect numbers too much.
you haven't heard from them regarding your schedule right?
Have super
Do we just have two interviews for the superday?
bump
yeah i think so
Did anyone not get the superday? Seems like everyone got the superday. IF you didn't please comment.
I think it was already selective in the first round so superday was a pretty easy selection. Are both your superday interviews happening on the same day/different days?
Same day. Is it 30 min interviews for you or 1 hour?
How was y'all's superday, do you know when we hear back?
i think after tomorrow. how did yours go?
it went fine, wbu?
bump
Bump - any insight into offers?
Bump - does it look like we'll hear today?
Anyone know when offers will come out?
bump
One of the interviewers told me they will be getting back mid next week. Didn't do very well on the superday though so that might just be a rejection. I think offers should be out by early next week. Lmk if you guys hear anything back
Did anyone get an offer yesterday night?
did you?
lol don't think he did, apparently there's another round early next week
Is there another round next week? If so, did anyone get invited to that round, or have the invites gone out?
Can someone confirm if they (as in the person confirming) got an (apparent) invite to a round next week?
I just find it very hard to believe that people got the next rounds and they didn't post anything here. Still don't think they sent out next round interviews (or maybe I am just in denial)
Agreed. Whoever said that is capping imo.
wdym next round? thought super day already happened
anyone heard back from them?
from the round last week or the "round" this week?
Last week supposed superday
Can they j send us updates already
Agreed, hopefully they reach out tonight
lol they told me we should all be hearing back by EOW
Basically has no one heard back?
heard back this afternoon- got a call w the offer
what was the deadline given to you? also was the final round for you last week as well or did you have an extra round this week?
Did anyone else other than the guy above get an offer?
Did they email you as well
Hey man - hope you're well. Would appreciate some insight into what to expect from the process. Could you send me a pm when you've got a chance?
Yo can u pm me? I’d appreciate it thx
Anyone heard back yet? Still silence on my end.
nah, i think they already sent offers out based on above :( and will probably send emails to all tmw
only 1 confirmed getting an offer so far but yea I think we gonna get rejections tmr
did anyone hear rejections?
Nothing on my end. Wbu?
same here
Any updates? I think they’re waiting to see if the first wave of offers decide to take it or not
I highly think so - seems like they are moving down the list based on who accepts the offer
