Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are the top groups at Moelis NYC:

  1. Gaming/Cannabis:

    • Best in terms of deal flow, people, and culture.
    • Highly regarded for their performance and work environment.
  2. Healthcare Services (HC Services):

    • Best group for deal flow and private equity (PE) exits.
    • Known for being demanding, but provides excellent learning opportunities.
    • Recently staffed with two analysts and two associates to manage workloads better.
  3. Business Services:

    • Solid group with great people.

Other groups mentioned include: - Transportation (Transpo) - Financial Institutions Group (FIG)

These groups are noted for their specific strengths and contributions to the firm's overall performance.

Based on pure PE exits and deal-flow, I would say Rx, HC Services, and M&A (absolute sweatshop of a group, btw) are noticeably better than others, with the next closest being REGL and Industrials. Don't think it matters all that much if you sign an offer before group placement lol

 

Would confirm these 3 groups are top for PE and deal experience. Think all groups are generally supportive of analysts leaving if you are clear about intentions. Know all groups seniors have been references in the past.

Group doesnt matter at Moelis. Know multiple ppl outside of Rx, HCS, and M&A that got inbounds from Apollo

 

Echoing above, have heard great things about culture in REGLL and Consumer
