PJT Partners

PJT Partners publishes a four-stage recruiting process on its students page: Explore (research and on-campus or virtual events, coffee chats with the team), Application Selection (recruiter and professional review of applications), Interview (a structured loop the firm states will test "broad industry understanding and interest, corporate finance fundamentals and behavioral competencies"), and Offer Decisions. The firm does not publish a specific round count or stage-by-stage format. Because PJT runs generalist programs with no business-line placement before the offer, the interview emphasises broad finance and behavioural fit rather than a specific desk competency, so a candidate is preparing for one general loop rather than a sequence of group-specific super-days.

Per the firm's Students page, PJT Partners runs a Summer Analyst Program (undergraduate, penultimate-year), a Summer Associate Program (graduate, penultimate-year of MBA or equivalent), Full-Time Analyst and Associate Programs, and — in Europe — an Off-Cycle Internship with either a September or January start. Europe additionally welcomes recent graduates to apply for an internship. All programs are explicitly Generalist: PJT confirms in its FAQ that there is no placement process within a given business, so an intern joins the firm rather than a specific group. Open roles are listed on the firm's Workday students portal, with most of the Full-Time class hired out of the internship cohorts.

PJT Partners' published policy, from its students FAQ, is: "We encourage all candidates to apply and handle visa sponsorships on a case-by-case basis. This applies to all of our locations." The firm therefore does not commit to a blanket sponsorship guarantee in any geography, but it does not pre-screen out international applicants either. For a candidate dependent on a US H-1B or a UK Skilled Worker visa, this is a gate worth surfacing explicitly in the recruiter conversation rather than assuming the answer either way, because the firm's position will be set per role and per location rather than announced in advance.

Per the firm's Students FAQ, application windows by geography and program are:

• US Summer Analyst Program: opens in the spring of the year prior to the program, closes before the summer
• US Summer Associate Program: opens early fall of the year prior to the program, closes in December
• Europe Summer Analyst Program: opens in September of the year prior to the program, closes in October
• Europe Off-Cycle Program: opens in winter (for a September start) or in August (for a January start)
• Asia Summer Analyst Program: opens in September of the year prior to the program, closes in October
• Global Full-Time Analyst and Associate Programs: postings in early August, interviews in August and September

The European and Asian summer windows are tight — roughly six weeks each autumn — and run in parallel with most other European elite-boutique and bulge-bracket deadlines. PJT also notes it hires a majority of the Full-Time class from its internships, so a candidate waiting for the August Full-Time posting is competing for a much smaller residual pool than the summer intake.

PJT Partners was listed on the NYSE in October 2015 as a spin-off from Blackstone (ticker NYSE: PJT), and now reports $1.8B in LTM revenue (to 31 March 2026), 1,225+ employees, 140+ partners and 16 offices, organised around three lines: Strategic Advisory, Restructuring & Special Situations, and Fund Advisory (which includes Park Hill secondaries and capital advisory). The firm positions its Restructuring & Special Situations practice as "the world's leading advisor to companies, financial sponsors and creditors in distressed situations," and independent business press through 2025 has shown PJT consistently at or near the top of the global restructuring league tables. Two practical consequences for an applicant: restructuring exposure is structurally larger here than at most M&A-only boutiques, and the firm's generalist intern model means a summer analyst can sit on a counter-cyclical restructuring mandate alongside M&A — useful in periods when M&A volume slows but restructuring activity rises.
