Did you hear back from the NY office to schedule a first round? I got phone screened from the Boston location and was wondering how long it takes to hear back for a first round.

 

alum said diversity and womens should be wrapping up in the coming weeks and non-diversity will commence in two weeks or so

The PCA group focuses on two main things: fundraising (i.e. raising money for PE funds) and secondaries (selling of PE investments to another PE firm, pretty much PE M&A). Group is easily one of the top private capital groups on the street (along w/ Evercore as main competitor) and they usually have 3 analysts per class. Pretty good culture but work can be somewhat mundane at times (lots of contact logs and organizing emails) and exits are in general "meh" given the M&A/RX groups will recruit better.

FWIW the work tends to be somewhat easier (not much modeling here, mostly PPT) and you will get paid roughly the same (maybe $10-20k of a smaller bonus) as the M&A analysts, but your exits won't be as good and hours will probably be just as long. And to answer the inevitable question people ask: no, working directly with PE firms does not mean you will be able to exit to PE that easily. 

 

They’re I’m the process already, sorry man

They hire 3-4 people and myself and a friend did 2nd rounds on Tuesday/Wednesday this week

 

I know one friend from my school (non-target) that has this week. However, he didn't apply on their website yet and he had a relative that knew a MD that got him into the process, so it might be under the table. The Lazard recruiting session said the bulk of their recruiting wouldn't begin until applications closed, so I'm going to say no. Maybe diversity and targets have started, but most of non-core/non-diversity is pending would be my best guess.

Has anyone heard back from NYC M&A/Restructuring? The status of my application is not updating, so I'm assuming I'm out of the process? I talked to the lead recruiter a month and a half ago and she said that I could also reapply for the Fall if I didn't get an offer to interview now. I'd appreciate any advice/information!

 

I haven't heard back either, but just assumed I got rejected. Seems like some people had gotten interviews already. Last year they recruited in fall but not sure if it's the case this time

 

Yeah same here. The recruiter I talked to said they also recruit in the fall and that those who got rejected the first time around can reapply for the Fall.
