Los Angeles Investment Banking Information and Recruiting

Currently networking into Investment Banking primarily in Los Angeles I wanted to make this thread for any 2021 IB SA candidates to put information in on what they have found about investment banks in LA from the product or industry groups to the culture and the recruiting timeline for each of the large BB, EB, or MM banks.

Moelis LA already kicked off the process for diversity candidates, but will be holding superday's for the general process in April/May. I believe apps close April 5 and also they're generalist across product and industry.
