Posted a thread a few days ago inquiring about PFG and you all were really helpful – now asking about Private Placements. What do exits, comp, prestige look like? Again, trying to assess the group independent to EVR's brand name. Hoping to exit into buyside – would this group position me well? Any insight is much appreciated.

How was the interview today?
,
Interviewed yesterday. By far the hardest one I had.
Was this for the Private Placements group or Private Funds Group?
Yikes, have mine tonight, not looking forward to getting wrecked
literally died wtf was that...
what questions were you asked?
idk whether its similar for everyone, but its 15 hardcore questions.
That might have been the worst interview experience of my life
curious to know, where you guys interned this summer? don't need to divulge the actual name of the company
what do exits in this group look like..... doesn't seem to be traditional M&A/RX IB?
it's pretty much RX advisory and EVR, so most likely very good
SMH...
Private placements is nothing like RX advisory
it has a strong focus on private credit (i.e. works a lot with Owl Rock and the likes), not your typical private placements at BBs
EVR RX is “pretty much RX advisory and EVR”
wasn't too bad lol idk what people are freaking over
It was extremely hard ngl
I probably only got about half of those questions
Any word on 2nd rounds?
Just heard back re: second round
Guess I got dinged lol. Congrats and good luck!
I don't know why I got ms. I literally have the email in front of me lol
lol just ignore them. I only got like 1 or 2 incorrect from that technical interview so idk what I did wrong. Can you share how you did on the first round?
whens your 2nd round?
2nd rounds today
confirmed
How were the 2nd rounds? Have the 3rd round invites gone out?
No I think they will finish interviewing people in ~1hr
second round was rough, also the fastest turnaround time ever. I got the email in the morning for a second round that afternoon
What was your interview about? Mine is mostly on deal discussion
Anyone think they'll run another round of interviews? Didn't realize they were still going and applied earlier this week.
Superdays are next week
Have you heard back?
Anyone heard back on a 3rd round?
I haven’t but the interviewer said we’d hear back in 24-48 hours
When was your interview?
not previous commentor but my second round was yesterday afternoon
Same, have u heard back?
had my 2nd round yesterday and haven't heard back yet
Did anybody get a reply to the thank you email?
Any word guys?

Have the invites gone out?
3rd round invites out

Anyone know what to expect from a group interview?

Yesterday evening
Curious as well

.
SA and yes I did
How does everyone feel about the group interview? Any idea on how many people they will take for the superday?
Any information on how to prep for their interviews will be helpful. Any advice?
have you already heard back?
Any advice anyone?

Did you interview?
Did my first round last week, does anyone have thoughts on the group? I heard it’s fairly recent and small.
How'd the interview go?
Only 3-4 technicals, the rest was chill
