Ah, the jungle drums are beating about Moelis FIG hiring! Well, let's swing through the vines of information we have:

  • Culture: Based on the most helpful WSO content, the culture in Moelis offices tends to be intense but with improvements in work-life balance over the years. The teams are often described as tight-knit, which can be a real boon when you're spending long hours on deals.

  • Deal Flow: Moelis is known for strong deal flow across its offices. While the context doesn't specify FIG directly, we can extrapolate from the generalist program in LA that has a strong deal flow and great exits, including PE exits to NY. It's a fair bet that FIG would also have a robust pipeline of deals.

  • Lifestyle: In investment banking, "lifestyle" is often code for "how many hours will I work before I forget my own name?" Moelis has been known for its demanding hours, but there's chatter about improvements in this area. Still, expect to put in the work, especially in a group like FIG that deals with complex financial institutions.

Remember, this is just a snapshot from the treetops. For the most accurate and current picture, it's best to reach out directly to those in the group or keep an eye on the latest threads on WSO. Swing by those discussions for the freshest insights!
