Any insight into whether these exits were mostly on or off cycle?

 

These exits are very strong. Are people getting these mainly because they’re already crème of the crop or because it’s just easier to get interviews when at a place like Moelis? 

It's a mix of both - name certainly helps get you in the door but you do have to do well in the interviews. That said I know a few in that set posted above who are going to very good PE funds but are average/below average analysts. Tip my cap to them. PE funds deserve it for trying to recruit so early in the process before any of these analysts have any actual experience. Anecdotally (actually have observed this over the last several years post COVID), the ones who didn't rush to recruit ended up being the best performers and comfortably found a great shop 1-2 years into their analyst years.

 

Why do you think the ones that took their time recruiting were better performers and found better exits? 

Was under the impression that buyside recruiting was only a short period of time for most of the groups in the comment above
