Moelis 2019 SA recruiting
Can anyone shed light on the Moelis 2019 SA recruiting process? Would really appreciate any insight into the interviews/types of questions and general structure of the process.
Also interested in this
Went thru a phone screening. Obviously very heavy on technicals - I'd say, no joke, 90% technicals and maybe two questions on fit. I believe they've been filling up a whole lot of spots already, so I'd recommend getting on things very quickly. DM me for more if ya want

Know a kid (non-target, not diversity) who has already signed with them, they're filling very quickly with the process probably closing early summer.
what school and how?
He networked and got first round, then super day. They did accelerated recruiting through my school as well (semi/non target) but I had already accepted an offer so i didn't apply so can't say too much about their process except i know they have had a NY super day and have given out offers.
I have heard the same. A classmate (non-target, not diversity) got the SA offer on Friday. They are notorious for their technical/quant focused interviews. You need to reach out to someone at the firm in order to understand their technical style. They ask a lot of backwards questions from what I hear. Random math questions seem to be somewhat common as well. A buddy in the 2018 class got a question about integrals (he was a business major and we have no business courses that incorporate integrals).
I know there was a Superday today but I am not sure when they are getting back to candidates.
My first round consisted of TMAY, then a bunch of follow up questions related to my experience creating an equity research report for a company I followed in one of my classes. My first technical was: Say I have 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and $100 of convertible PIK debt that has an interest rate of 15% and matures in 5 years. Exercise price is $1. How much of the company would I own after five years with my PIK convertible? Answer: 15% return in 5 years is doubling your money, so your PIK convertible is now worth $200. With the exercise price of $1 that means that you will now issue 200 additional shares. so you would own 200/1200 = 16.72% of the company's equity.
What does TMAY mean?
tell me about yourself
are you serious? PIK convertible debt? What does that even mean? definitely not covered in BIWS?
Payment-in-kind. Essentially it is a sort of high-yield debt instrument, with some equity characteristics as well. Each year, instead of interest being paid to the creditor, it's added to the debt in kind. At maturity, its either convertible to equity, or the entire sum is due in cash.
do you mean a company has 1000 shares outstanding and not you? otherwise you'd have more than 200/1200 at the end of the period.
I just memorized it in my head. You could use the rule of seventy two if you wanted
Moelis NY SA Accelerated Recruiting (Originally Posted: 11/13/2014)
Heard back about phone interviews.
Have read previous threads about Moelis NY but most conversations have centered on LA. Could anyone give more info on their NY office? All I know is that it's big on restructuring, 20-25 analysts, great placements, better hours than LA.
Any insights about their interview process (technicals) would be appreciated, thanks guys.
I heard that they have already completed their penn process and are moving to fill non-core spots
I spoke to someone and they told me that Non Core Superdays won't happen until Mid June
heard that too, what region is your school in?
I know non core kids who have already interviewed/ received offers, I believe the process is truly rolling
I know for a fact that there was a Non-Core Superday last Friday
Anyone else here back yet? I haven't yet....
My buddy who worked there told me to expect a lot of technicals tho.

I have a feeling there are a few people out there interested in this thread; only thing I have heard (to echo) is technical heavy.
Anyone hear back about superday?
one of my juniors from college already has an offer from there and he didn't even intern there over the summer.
prolly got recruited. interned at MS and JP ibd programs last 2 summers
Are you guys all applying through referrals, or do you have accelerated interviews due to exploding offers?
Did anyone hear back about Fridays superday?
What type of questions were asked at the super day?
Also curious about what types of questions were asked during the phone interview.
Started a thread on this as well with little success. I began to search Glassdoor for people who posted questions, seemed somewhat LBO heavy for valuation, and having to know more details than just the theory. LIFO/FIFO accounting as well. $10 depreciation, M&A deals, IRR. Was able to get all of the answers from reading the Rosenbaum book and the WSO guide (I swear they didnt pay me to promote). Hopefully you get this in time.
had sf superday yesterday, still waiting to hear back
.
Did you follow up with them? I wouldn't wait much longer before reaching out to them to ask about your status
NYC process is finished
People I know are interviewing right now for NYC
I know they handed out a fair amount of offers(non-target) after their super day(NYC) on Friday
Can confirm NYC process is wrapping up at my target, but they're not finished overall - interviewing semis/non-targets now it seems to fill up the last few spots. I suspect they'll be all finished within a few weeks - other EBs are similarly finished/wrapping up.
I'm pretty sure the only EB to actually be finished is pjt. evercore had superdays this past week and lazard hasn't really done much. it looks like moelis isn't completely done yet either.
I can only speak for my target (H/W) but:
EVR/Moelis are very far along and PJT is indeed finished. At Wharton, EVR was sending out offers weeks ago and Moelis offers have been going out for a while now too. EVR has a superday this week for Harvard. HL had their first superdays weeks ago for targets. PWP sent out some offers ~3 weeks ago.
I agree that Laz is slow this year though, haven't heard much from them.
Has anyone received an invitation for the super day or an offer for the Boston office?
Did anyone attend the superday on Tuesday May 29th?
bump
Is Moelis Chicago done?
I go to a non-core school for Moelis and I went to the Super Day on the 29th.
They had 2 superdays this week
When was the other one?
today
Did anyone get an offer from the Boston office yet?
I haven't heard back from Boston office yet
Did anyone hear back from yesterday's superday in NYC?
I had my superday this past Tuesday, and I haven't heard back yet. I think today might be when they all come out.
yes
Oh guess you get the offer? Congrats!
Is the class completely filled?
Last superday for NY was yesterday
bump
Any news from Boston yet?
I have not heard anything yet
Did you hear back yet?
Nope. Did you?
hvnt heard
Just received an email reply from an MD at Moelis saying their entire summer class was already filled. So fun being a non-target :)
Which office? NY?
Did you interview for the superday? They had a couple of non-target rounds of interviews last week.
