Perella Weinberg Partners Summer Analyst Internship

Perella Weinberg Partners' Summer Analyst Program runs 10 weeks from June to August, paying interns roughly $2,180 per week (about $113,360 annualized) plus a $7,500 housing stipend, with a conversion rate of approximately 80-88% to full-time offers. The class is very small, only 10-20 interns, giving intimate exposure to advisory work. The training program is focused and practical, covering core modeling and valuation skills alongside PWP's advisory approach and client philosophy. Interns are staffed on live advisory mandates and quickly become integral members of small deal teams. The ultra-small class size means every intern has direct access to senior bankers, including partners and MDs, who provide real-time coaching and feedback. This level of mentorship is virtually impossible to replicate at larger programs. The conversion rate reflects the firm's investment in its intern pipeline and its careful selection of candidates who align with PWP's culture. The evaluation process is holistic, considering technical skill, maturity, and cultural alignment. Recruiting follows the standard elite boutique timeline, and PWP's lower public profile relative to Evercore or Lazard means the applicant pool is more self-selected, which benefits candidates who have done genuine research on the firm. The internship offers exposure to high-quality advisory mandates, shareholder activism situations, and complex M&A transactions that provide exceptional foundational experience. For candidates who value mentorship, deal quality, and a personal working environment over scale, PWP's internship is among the most rewarding in banking.
