Houlihan M&A to RX Lateral?

Hey guys,

I'm a current junior and I accepted an offer with Houlihan Lokey for summer 2019. When I interviewed, I did not know that they had a RX group. I just started learning about RX and would be interested in potentially lateraling from M&A to RX. Does anyone have any experience or know people who did so?

Thank you.

Near impossible - had 2-3 friends try, and they all were told flat out no for NYC. Might have a chance for LA or some other office. Only chance would be if your team works alongside rx frequently, but as someone said above, it’s effectively two different firms.
