I applied online. I interviewed at PFM (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2022
Interview
There were multiple interviews with a bunch of different project managers. But, it was pretty straightforward. There really weren’t any technical questions aside from knowing a little bit about general public finance. It was mainly to see if you are interested in the field.
3 rounds, first with the hiring manager, then with a member of the team. Finally, an interview with Managing Directors. Largely behavioral questions with no direct financial experience assumed. Low stress and pleasant.

Question 1
Why public finance?
Why PFM?
What about your background makes you a good fit for the role?
3 steps, one with HR and two with team. HR was 15 minutes and the team was around an hour. The questions were all behavioral, no assumption of finance background.
