Career Resources
Bump
Avoid. Take any other offer
Fucking run. 3 am every night on deals that don’t close. Group head supposedly is based out of there, but he hasn’t been seen in office in years.
Houlihan is probably the worst career choice you can make right now as a banker. You get Moelis hours and Lincoln prestige. We have a strong culture of termination, people are fired all the time. Our lateral talent pool proves that we are a bank of last resort, we are not taking talent from places like Blair or any BB lately, we are dipping down into the pool of the longterm unemployed and no name bucket banks.
You have to be an asshole to survive here. I would avoid unless you are completely fucking desperate to break into banking.
What office are you in

Dude is on every thread possible shitting on houlihan. Gotta ask why they fired you
Don’t know where a lot of the above info is coming from but the group is top tier. Seem to run the 500mm to 2000mm food and Bev space and have closed some pretty large and notable deals.
Strong group, arguably the top in MM food and beverage, and you'll get great deal experience over there. Seniors are nice, but the wlb is super sweaty and there are some intense mid-level personalities
