The Investment Banking Analyst role

PJT hires summer and full-time analysts into Strategic Advisory, Restructuring & Special Situations (RSSG), Park Hill (private fund advisory) and PJT Camberview (shareholder advisory). Summer programs are generalist, with early responsibility on live pitches and transactions and several assignments at once. The firm requires the Suited assessment and says it is not weighted above other factors.

PJT says its summer analyst program is generalist, with no placement into a specific business, and that it sizes the intern class to anticipated full-time headcount — everyone is eligible for a full-time offer based on summer performance; third-party guides put the class at roughly 30–40 globally with a week of orientation and modeling before nine weeks on live deals.

Worth knowing: PJT’s Students page says it sizes the intern class to anticipated full-time headcount and fills most of each full-time class from the summer program — and it is one of the few banks that requires an AI-assisted Suited assessment from every applicant.
