Was at Moelis (pre group placement) and friends at each of these firms and GS TMT specific so will share my thoughts. If I were going back I would choose EVR assuming it was tech group or media (software). You will getting grinded at all of these shops so don't go in expecting any sort of life outside of work. Best groups at Moelis are better than average groups at EVR but you get a better mix of deal flow at EVR and I think they run great processes seeing them now from the buyside. With that said, recruiting is a crapshoot so hard to say, but I would take Moelis M&A over EVR industrials or the like. If you like TMT go GS in my opinion just be aware some of their rainmakers have been poached and a lot of their "sexy" deals are from SF office. You can't go wrong with any of these options and congrats dude great outcome. Final caveat I would add is that you will likely get much more responsibility and senior / client visibility at Moelis and Evercore which is really great in the long run. Longwinded way of saying there are no bad options but if you like TMT i would go GS TMT = EVR Tech > Moelis tech

 

Lol, I don’t get all the hate towards MOE M&A.


There’s no denying GS TMT and EVR M&A are better than it, but all three are incredible options that 95% of people on this forum would be desperate to have and all can and do lead to MF exits+.

If you are interested in tech or aren’t sure if you want to immediately exit to PE and would rather keep more doors open, I’d take the GS offer, otherwise I’d take EVR.


People saying Moelis M&A exits to MM though are retarded. 

 

In an industry as commoditized as banking with people as insecure and status-hungry as those filing in droves into analyst seats, people will always find excuses to tear down others to elevate their status, so agreed. Reject in response to being rejected, right?

Anyone interested in finance from any school would and should be happy with a Moelis M&A offer and can get to any firm in the world from there, if desired and driven.
