Houlihan Lokey Sophomore SA Expectations

I’m a rising sophomore at a target school interested in investment banking. Doing some research on HL and very interested in their RX practice for their sophomore summer program but I’ve heard of that interns are expected to return for junior summer. Im afraid that I’ll try restructuring and won’t like it and be stuck. Does anyone have any info or insight on if this is true or how the process works? Thanks!

Then you got the golden ticket to pretty much every program there is. Grind your ass off and get ahead these other diverse candidates. Don’t think the interview is any easier, so keep at it.

 

I don’t have it on? It’s a great firm with a great RX team and a great sophomore SA program. I don’t know where you got prestige lens from that

 

It’s not like they can force you to stay. If you go for your sophomore summer and don’t like it, just leave.
