Was in a few processes, but they’ve stalled (at least for me)
PM me
I had a superday with tech M&A guys (nyc) 2 weeks ago and got ghosted lol
Alright so they are actually putting people through the process, but maybe still picky AF
Which groups did you interview with?
Can I ask what questions you were asked during Superday? Was it mainly behavioral/transaction experiences or technical?
Can’t really tell what’s going on here but curious to hear as well. Applied to one I was a direct fit for a while back but have heard nothing. Assuming these are just black boxes and no real action going on
Had a first round for the business services, but have not heard anything back yet
Did you get in through a referral or regular application? I've gotten no traction so jw
Regular app, but have not made it to the 2nd round
Any update on Industrials? Applied from a Mining background
Applied for 6 of the positions and interviewed for two of them. I think most of them wrapped up or are wrapping up this week.
How far did you go in each process?
Did you interview for the energy position?
Not sure if it posted - Trauber is Houston legend in the O&G space, his team at Moelis definitely tried/did poach boutique o&g analysts from Houston deal teams.
he is one of the greatest energy bankers of all time so yeah that group is good.
Got two phone screens last week. As far as I know, they went well. Haven't heard back since. Followed up today.
did you have referrals? which office?
no referrals, and it was the nyc office
What group was it? Is is business services?
Anyone heard back from business services about second round?

I guess they paused on hiring?
Has anyone heard back on second round analyst interviews?
Know business services had a superday this week
Why the MS? It’s true I had a friend who did it lol
Anyone knows anything about the industrial process
