Probably MOE. Although JEF is on the rise and MOE has been “struggling” recently, MOE is still probably a better analyst experience than JEF. You would probably only choose JEF over MOE for its groups like energy or hc/levfin. Everything other than that MOE is the right call
Jef is still on the rise, but have cemented their place as a strong IB, off the cusp of a BB due to their strong deal flow and regular appearance on large transactions. In terms of prestige, Moe is still a better option but it won't be the case in the near future. If you want good and more frequent deal exp, go for Jef, if trying to optimise for exits, Moe
heavily disagree that “it won’t be the case in the near future”. you don’t just get prestige out of nowhere in a few years. plus jefferies functionally isn’t either a bb or an eb by definition. they’re in no mans land right now. will give them that they’re on some big mandates though and analysts will get good reps. moe is still on top and I think it’ll stay that way for a while as jef starts to cement their “identity” as a new sort hybrid bank that we haven’t seen since pre-gfc with something like merrill or bear
better not be picking jefferies over moelis for any group not named energy.
ragebait?
Moelis if this is for a SA spot. Better exits than JEF
Lmao why not be adventurous here and go for JEF
.
You're kidding right?
moelis, but it's not as obvious as these comments would make you think. the way these people are talking you would think jefferies is a regional boutique, and let's face it, moelis isnt what it used to be. now jef interns are going to ms me for correctly stating that moelis is the better choice and moelis interns are going to ms me for correctly stating that the bank isn't exactly killing it lmfao. bring it on
If you're dumb enough to ask this, please take JEF so the MOE seat opens up to someone more deserving.
Appreciate the effort from whichever Lazard SA or analyst posted this though to once again try and tear MOE down.
Moelis intern try not to bring up Lazard challenge: impossible
What makes people think Moelis isn't doing well? Revenue is up significantly YoY (although down from '21 highs) and they seem to be hiring and growing headcount.
