Thanks for the replies!
No problem, if you have any other questions lmk.
Have a buddy at a tier 2/3 city for HL, and he says they have a great culture and standard IB hours but not over the top crazy demands.
Thank you!

Can anyone confirm if this article is true, specifically the part where they say you need approval from group heads to work past midnight.
Seems like a really good policy but one that might not get enforced
Curious to know if Corporate Finance groups do their own M&A modeling rather than pushing it to product groups. Are there product groups at HL?
Believe they do since the groups are called “Business Services M&A” or Consumer M&A etc.
The amount and rigorousness of the modeling you'll do on any deal depends a lot less on the specific firm, and a lot more on whether it's a buyside or a sellside mandate. Sellside you might want to know what a buyer's (strategic or financial) ability-to-pay is, but you can figure that out with a sheet of paper and a pencil in most cases. Buyside you need to project accretion/dilution down to the penny, and in many cases pro forma credit stats. HL is a great firm but to my knowledge it's almost all sellside (like most middle market M&A firms).
To chime in with some other color, I’ve worked at HL (in RX and FAS) and Moelis so can only really compare the culture among those besides what I have heard from friends. HL is fairly standard IB from what I remember. Culture in line with other banks and like Moelis. People seem to work long hours and get paid street comp more or less it seems. Maybe some groups a bit higher than street like RX from what I remember, but RX prob works longer hours overall potentially for that higher pay. Good luck and best wishes! :)
