I applied online. I interviewed at PJT Partners (New York, NY)
Interview
30 minute first round and then direct superday. SD was 4 30 minute interviews. Resume grilling and lots of technical questions. Get a sit down with a partner for vibe check. Prep hard but people were very nice.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PJT Partners (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2026
Interview
Had a very technical 45-minute first-round interview. Not many behaviorals, but mostly calculations. The interviewer was nice but would definitely dig deep into topics. For instance, he asked about a subsector and then would continue getting more technical as he went.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
He gave a merger math question to determine if the deal was accretive or dilutive.
