Students

Our student programs are ideal for talented, bright and passionate young professionals who like a challenge. We focus on development through financial training, on the desk experience and mentoring by senior team members who are the best in the business.

Finding the Future

Internships

Our programs start with a week of orientation and financial training–the stepping stones of success.

Because the sizes of our teams are small, our interns are important right away, often finding themselves working directly with senior bankers. Our internships also provide other formal and informal training, high-touch mentorship from all levels as well as the chance to make a difference through their Community Impact Program.

Open Roles

Junior level. Senior impact.

Full-time Programs

There’s no better way for someone to begin their career than PJT Partner’s Full-Time Analyst and Associate Programs.

This is the real deal and involves real rigor. The program includes a few weeks of training in both London and New York, including opportunities for the global classes to come together with their peers for further training and teambuilding. You’ll not only connect with colleagues from around the globe, you’ll learn the building blocks of a successful career from some of our most senior leaders.

Because we believe in lean teams, there’s no sitting in the back of the room. From day one you’ll have exposure and a seat at the table.
