Houlihan SA 2021 THREAD
title basically says it all. I heard from an analyst that they’re starting the process this month (HL RX LA). let’s see what other people have gathered.

Have they posted the application yet?
Been up for a couple weeks now.
Anyone know if HL ever takes sophomores? if I have freshman school year & summer IB experience and a contact at HL who can attest to my interest/skill could that be possible or do they solely take juniors
This girl from my school "interned" there her sophomore summer but I think her dad is an MD or something.
RX NY had a superday last weekend. First rounds started ~2 weeks ago
How long do you typically have to wait before hearing back from a first round?
Honestly, I'm not too sure. I think it can vary depending on if you get dinged. This is hearsay, but I know someone that had ~1 week between first round and hearing about the superday (with 3-4 days lead time)
Do you know if HL RX NY, or banks in general, have more than one superday or first round "waves"? If I didn't get a first round by now, is it safe to assume I'm out of their process?
Honestly, I'm not sure. I'm also a prospective monkey, so I can only tell you what I/my friends have experienced.
I am fairly certain that they've only had one superday thus far, but I'm not sure how that relates to how long they'll be conducting first round interviews. Hope this helps
any offers extended yet from that superday?
Not sure
Can someone keep me posted about HL RX LA process — anyone hear about super day yet?
buddy of mine has 1st round tmrw
I see. Good luck to your friend. I already had my 1st round so just wanted to get a sense of whether or not super days are being extended yet. Appreciate if you can keep me posted on your friend's status, thanks!
I have first round Friday, how did yours go?
@Moistheman Replying to both Moistheman and anonymous: I'll keep it pretty objective. My first round was 100% technical.
The technicals I received consisted of valuation, accounting, and waterfall/credit exercises. Probably comparable to other banks but also included questions on waterfall/credit.
Just got a superday for LA RX which is in 2 days. On that note, would appreciate if anyone's been through the process and can tell me what to expect!

Anyone who has interviewed for NY M&A, have you heard anything back yet / where are you in the process?
i dont think ny m&a first rounds have even gone out yet.. coming from a target school
I know someone who had a superday close to the start of this month. Would that mean the process is rolling in general and by school?
Anyone have first rounds yet for corporate finance LA office?
Have first rounds already started?
first rounds started
Just received RX first for the Chicago office
did u network?
I'd say a fair amount, yes.
have offers been given out yet
Yes - HL has given out total of 5-6 offers over two super days for New York RX. LA and regional offices are doing 1r's.
when were the ny superdays for which offers were given
are the results from yesterdays super out
how about for M&A?
Yes, LA is generalist. You actually spend some of your time doing M&A, some time trying out levfin. No idea about Chicago though, sorry
Is LA corporate finance SA program generalist?
Yea anyone know if corp fin SA Chicago is generalist?
Any word on Private Funds?
Anyone know if they're running any more superdays for Rx LA?
Had one today and one more tomorrow
Would that be the last one?
.
Had a first round over a month ago. Still haven't back. Is this normal?
No it is not. Most banks get back to you pretty fast if you've moved on. Unless they're delaying their process, you most likely got dinged. Sorry man
Appreciate the reply. The weird thing is that the person originally said it was a "chat" and then suddenly started to bombard me with technical questions in the actual call.
Is it possible that they are still doing first rounds with other people from my school and want to wait a bit?
Anyone heard back from HL Chicago CF super day earlier this week?
Had mine earlier this week, haven't heard back either.
Haven't heard back either. Had it early this week.
Anyone hear back yet from the LA super day earlier this week?
-
So you got an offer? Was this for RX or CF?
HL LA Rx is (un?)officially over, I heard they filled their intern class
Does anyone have any update on HL NY CF timeline? Have they started first-round interviews?
Had 1st round for HL RX this week
Does anyone have any update on HL NY CF timeline? Have they started first-round interviews?
can someone confirm if HL corporate finance IS generalist? You don't do industry coverage???
internship program is
Had first round PFG interview .... anyone else?
Anyone have any updates for Houlihan Lokey Dallas Restructuring? Have they started recruiting yet?
Got a first round interview this week
any updates on HL CHI CF process? I talked with a VP and ASS, both went really well and they both said they would secure an interview for me. that was a few weeks ago, and I haven't heard from HR to schedule an interview. what should I do? Also, I am non-target, not sure if that changes things.
Anyone know anything about Private Funds? I didn't read the post in the Evercore thread about it being bad to apply to more than one group so I applied to all of them and only heard back from PFG. I had an initial phone interview (all behavioral) and have a second call on Tuesday but I'm not entirely sure what to expect so if anyone has insight, I'd appreciate it!
I also have a second call for PFG- What should we expect?
Just had a superday with HL CF NY - wondering if anyone has heard back or knows when we can expect to?
Did you have some sort of accelerated process / do you know if there are later super days?
Not entirely sure - pretty sure they're doing these all summer
Has anyone had first round for HL Dallas? If so, how was it?
had mine today; smu heavy office
Had an interview. was extremely technical heavy. waiting on response but felt I did quite well at answering most of the questions but had a brainfart on one of the questions
Anyone hear back from superdays in LA/SF office (corpfin)
Waiting on hearing back from LA too
yes
Did anyone have superday with CF in NY? Has anyone heard back?
Is HL RX NY done/wrapping up?
if I applied CF and haven’t heard anything is that a ding? had a referral from an analyst in SF.
No, not a ding, but it’s possible you aren’t in the accelerated process. They’re running one process right now to get ahead of other banks, then running a second process in the fall to fill the spots they didn’t fill.
is the position called financial analyst - class of 2022?
Has anyone heard back from SF? Had a phone screen last week
yes
has anyone heard back from corporate finance la? they did two superdays last week
Anyone heard back from the HL SF Corporate Finance superdays? If you did, when?
is LA wrapped up for corpfin?
Nahhhhhhhhh
has nyc kicked off? for non-diversity/non-targets
.
CF
Wait I thought I heard before NY IBD was done? Anyone have nay insight?
since when? had a call w VP mid May and he said to just check in with him throughout summer because the recruitment process was on pause then
They posted a recruiting event at my LA Target for August, so assuming LA is still recruiting
Are the applications still open? Couldn’t find anything on the website
Which offices still have spots?
Is recruiting still open for HL SA 2021 NY
bump
bump
Anyone know timeline for Minneapolis office?
bump
Any insight on whether CF is still moving forward for 2021?
I don't think they're done recruiting. I have a 1st round with an analyst tomorrow.
NYC?
Anyone hear back from Corp Val. SF office?
