Goldman Sachs vs Moelis

Hi all! Just like the title says, would love to hear your thoughts on Goldman vs Moelis? I know they are very different in size but are both top picks of mine and play a large role in the investment banking industry. With the recruiting timelines so different, I am trying to narrow down which bank to focus on. Thanks for the advice!

Yeah not exactly sure what your background is, but I certainly wouldn’t limit your search to just two banks. Really easy way to end up with no offers. If I were you, especially if you go to a non-target, I would cast a much wider net (15-20 firms) and focus on developing high-quality relationships at 4-6 banks.
