Houlihan Lokey - NY Office

Anyone have any experience with Houlihan Lokey’s NY office? Culture / experience / dealflow / lifestyle, etc? Not worried about exit opps but just the office in general.

I had a first round with someone in their office, and met another one for coffee. Really chill guys, very good at what they do.

Culture-wise, you really can't go wrong with HL NY. These guys are wicked smart, too.

Dealflow is obviously amazing, as these are the top guys in RX. For IB, HL NY is IMO one of the best places to be because of multiple reasons, especially for the experience you get there (unparalleled opportunity in RX space) and the quality of the culture (laid-back, incredibly collegial and supportive).

 

Could you tell me how HL Chicago compares with HL New York? Is HL and HL RX in Chicago also considered very good/better than mid BB?

Good to know that that's inaccurate. Any info on this then?
