I applied through university. I interviewed at PJT Partners (New York, NY) in Jun 2019
Interview
First round was two behaviorals followed by 3 multi-step technicals where ratios/values are altered mid-question. You are expected to know
how these changes affect the question/values and apply it to the standard technicals.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given values for company financials, calculate total price per share (and then question altered, asked to recalculate)
Quite technical, they asked a lot of restructuring questions. Make sure you prepare for those. I had 3 interviews: one behavioural, one technical, and one basically a personality check with one of the MDs
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PJT Partners (New York, NY) in Aug 2025

First round was phone screening. Relatively easy. Next round was simple interview with mix of behavioral and technical. Super day was the hardest. Technical questions included financial statement but also scenario based questions which were hard.
