Arranged through recruiter, recruiter set up meeting over zoom. Meeting lasted 30 minutes mostly for me to ask questions. Standard questions, Evidently did poorly, and I never heard from them again.
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PJT Partners (New York, NY) in Jan 2024
Interview
Great people - pretty typical behavioral interview process relating to deal work and experience. I did not hear back following the first round of interviews. Classic IB interview from my perspective
Long process - 4 rounds of interviews overall with a mix of junior and senior level interviewers. Mostly behavioral questions with a case study that is mostly qualitative knowledge related to the role (corporate governance, ESG, activism, executive compensation, etc).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you interested in this role as opposed to traditional banking?
