PJT Partners SA 2021
Hi all, I haven't seen any information on here about PJT SA 2021 so I figured I would make a thread to see if anyone has any good info on the process (timelines, diversity, target/non-target, etc.)

Talked to a couple ppl involved in recruiting... set to kick off start of summer
Alright thanks
RSSG deadline was April 5 (two days ago). If anyone hears more about the process, would be great if you could share.
Know someone received a first round.
Ivy?
My buddy got an offer weeks ago (non-diversity)
Got 1st round invite for RSSG as well. Let's keep each other posted.
Did you network with them?
Yes. I'm at a target so they came to campus, and I set up some phone calls and kept in touch afterwards.
Once again, the biggest guys on the street are moving low-key, slick, and fast. If you've got all the way to the interview, study up. Good luck to the future rockstars!
bro you sound like a finance version of hulk hogan lol
How in the world do you prepare for a restructuring interview? I've looked at the HL case and the M&I but other than that, what can I do to prepare?
Distressed Debt Analysis, Oaktree Mezzanine Debt Primer are good resources as well
When is the Strategic Advisory/M&A application due
I recently was hired at PJT. I ended up playing Fortnite with a random person online and it turned out to be an analyst at the firm. I carried him hard during our games and he pushed for me and got me a job. People start playing Fortnite, thats where all the networking happens now.

lol nice meme buddy
Anyone know when the app for M&A due?
Has anyone gotten a response confirming their RSSG 1st round yet? I'm still waiting to get the interview date confirmed.
no not yet...
I see - keep me posted please, I'll do the same on my end
Does any one know if RSSG has multiple waves of first rounds or separate target vs. non target process?
curious as well
bump
Anyone heard back after the Women's Program Superday?
yea they made it into a virtual session. I did a first round with Restruc/Spec Sits and got invited to final round super day for NYC
Was your 1st round part of the womens program or through the regular channel? You have superday invite already?
What were the type of technical questions you got? Were they similar to the 400 IB guide?
Did you hear back after the Superday? I had it on April.3rd and haven't heard back anything yet.
how soon after the women's virtual session did you hear back from them regarding the interview? Asking this because I was invited for a diversity event nxt week and the program structure is similar to the women's program. You can PM if you prefer. thanks
Any info on SF tech?
Spoke to an analyst, their class is full.
Bump
First rounds out for Strategic Advisory
Target, recieved an email that they would start late summer?
he’s a troll, ignore him
Did anyone hear back yet about 2nd round RSSG? I had my first round yesterday and waiting to hear back
PJT RSSG has given out offers for SA NY 2021...know this first hand as a friend got one today
Top target?
Not H/W but yes, top target for sure
Anybody know if non target non diversity applicants received first rounds at RSSG?
Not heard back anything yet
anyone else hear back from RSSG round 1?
for a superday? or to interview for first rounds
I had my first round interview yesterday and was wondering when we would find out if we moved on to superday
Anyone heard anything about Strategic Advisory NY?
they said strategic advisory isn't interviewing till June/July
Recruiter said the ddl will be in July while interviews will take place in August
target non-diversity here. for anyone who was wondering, rssg interview was pretty straightforward. basic accounting questions and some stuff on chapter 11/general RX topics
.
^^this guy gets it
.
was anyone selected for a rssg super day yet?
yes mine is tmr. were you selected?
Has PJT M&A NY group 1st rounds interviews been sent out yet?
Also curious... I'm reading that it's pushed back to summer. If anyone can confirm that'd be great.
From one of the bankers on the recruiting team, I have been told it is now in late summer July/August
am headed there as a FT and can confirm this is true.
Did anyone else here do a superday with PJT RSSG? I just did mine yesterday and got fucked with a rejection. recruiter said they were only giving out 4 offers because the gave out 5 for diversity already
didn't realize they did diversity. can you still apply to Strategic Advisory?
yes
what? diversity as in women?
They had the women’s advisory program superdays recently for RSSG.
yea women (thru the women diversity seminar)
Looking at the application and seeing that the firm would like to see three references? What kind of references did other people look to? I feel strange just asking out of nowhere, especially since we're all at home at the moment...
Emailed my boss from last years internship 3 times, he still hasnt replied which is great
Anyone have updates on Strategic Advisory? Also, is the suited test heavily weighted?
was the suited emailed right away
I think so. Its part of the application
Friend said he got confirmation of first round interview for strategic advisory.
Target?
Non-target. He might be bsing me because I didn't believe him but just wanted to see if other people had gotten confirmation too.
Doubt this is true. This is exactly what HR told me: "Our application deadline will be in July, and we will be conducting interviews in August this year. While the applications are currently open on our website, there is no need to apply until closer to the deadline as we will not review applications until July."
Did everyone get a suited profile invite/email after applying? Applied a while ago and never got one
Can confirm this
anyone know if they’re willing to accelerate process for someone with an exploding offer?
I tried but didn’t work, but nothing wrong in trying I guess
what did HR or your contact say? was your other offer a EB
bump for updates on PJT recruiting for the strategic advisory group. have they already given out offers to target schools?
How quickly did people get the suited assessment? I applied last Thursday and haven't gotten an email and application portal says no pending tasks...
Bump
You don't get an email, you have to actually go and fill it out yourself. I think in their application page they list the link.
Is strategic advisory rolling?
So is NY RSSG recruiting done?
It's been done for a little over a month
PJT held a cofee chat at our school last month and sent out an email saying that interviews will kick off late July/August. So relax. I guess?
Deleted
are you suggesting the recruiting team lies to delay talent applying? Why?
I have a source who is part of the recruitment process who said few spots have been filled by diversity but bulk of M&A hiring will open next month. - Ps this source is very reliable
Are all these internships for incoming juniors?
If I didint get an informational call... am I not being considered?
People got informational calls already?
Ya a friend did
Anyone else get an informational call (apart from @Rohil_B123 's friend?
Can references be professors?
Where does it ask you for references?
Anyone know if you work in a specific group during the internship?
Product group yes, industry group, no.
also are you still a generalist as an analyst?
Does anyone know if Park Hill is done?
it’s still on my handshake so I’m assuming they aren’t done... but would love to hear what anyone else has to say
Have first rounds already been sent out?
Has anyone heard anything about first rounds for Strategic Advisory?
To my understanding RSSG has been done for a few weeks now, but they haven't begun looking at resumes for SA and the Park Hill stuff, but idk much about the PE side of it.
Applications close July 5 and then a few weeks later first rounds are sent out - HR
This is true- people i've networked with have said similar things
Can confirm
Did anyone else get an email today that said "you should expect to hear from us by the end of this month"?
No
yes
yes, wondering if everyone was sent this
Yes, I think everyone got it
Are applications still open?
They closed July 5th
Has anyone else received the Suited Assessment test?
Weren’t you supposed to submit that with your application?
Do first rounds come out this week?
Was told expect first rounds to start "the end of July" so I'm guessing 2 weeks from now
What to expect at a superday?
Had first round already?
Fast tracked from the spring programme for london office
Does PJT do second wave of applications in the fall? Too late to do informational interviews? From non target for reference
I may be wrong (if I am, someone correct me) but I do not think so – they take extremely small intern classes and have already had diversity rounds. I'm pretty sure they don't do multiple waves and sweep up their interns in one go via the regular pipeline
Has anyone had a first-round for M&A?
I haven't heard of anyone getting one. I believe they should be coming out within the week.
anyone get an invite today to the "PJT Partners Diversity" event from HR?
edit: for black applicants?
nope
Wasn't the diversity event in April?
Women's program yes – This is a diversity program for Black/African-American applicants. Apologies, as I should have clarified. I was just asking to see if all Black identifying applicants got the invite or if it was a shortlist. I attended the Women's program back in April and didn't get an offer but have applied through regular pipeline.
i did
did you get first rounds? I didn't get a rejection or acceptance, just an invite to this program. Did you also get no notification of your decision and just this invite?
Did anyone hear back from NY Strategic Advisory?
I haven't yet either. Bump
Nope. Curious to know how many people you guys networked with at the firm. I had a hard time getting responses and was only able to speak with 2 analysts over the phone
I also had a super hard time networking here. Only spoke to like 2 analysts and was wondering if that would be enough to earn a first round. Think we'll be hearing this week.
Only 2? I feel like that’s more than enough
Same here, I have a strong resume and they are one of the only firms I really had a hard time networking with.
what made networking w them hard? wouldnt respond to emails?
I can relate. It was extremely hard to get in touch with someone there.
Anyone have any idea when we should be hearing back?
Heard back today for Boston M&A
