I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PJT Partners (London, England) in Sept 2020
Interview
Initial application included Cv and cover letter. Next step is online tests. Heard back a month later for first round which consisted of 2x 30 mins interviews (behavioural and technical). Got invited to ac a week later. Ac consisted of 2x 30 mins behavioural and 1x 45 mins technical round.

First round into superday. First round typical questions. Superday is 4 back to back interviews testing market logic, technicals, and behaviorals. The people are nice and will help you with answers if stuck.
Did First Round - Interviewer was extremely nice. Difficult technicals, much harder than most other first-round interviews. 45 minutes interview (15m behavioral, 25m technical). Overall good experience, didn't receive market questions, all technicals had math.
Started off with a CV review, then had to do a suit assessment, then applicants were selected for the first round video interview and if you pass that, you would get to the final stage AC.
