What is going on with their hiring process? It seems that they are hiring anyone these days. A couple of years ago they were a solid elite boutique, but now it seems that they have fallen off a cliff.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information in the dataset provided about Moelis' current hiring standards or any perceived decline in their reputation. However, discussions from past threads indicate that Moelis has historically maintained a rigorous recruiting process, including structured interviews and a focus on top-tier candidates. For example, their 2019 Summer Analyst recruiting process involved interviews starting after return offers were given, with a fast-paced, informal process following that.
If you're noticing changes in their hiring practices, it could be worth exploring recent threads or reaching out to current employees or alumni for updated insights. You can also check out the WSO Company Database or forums for more detailed and recent discussions on Moelis' standing in the industry.

Thx for this take intern. Mind giving an example of wtf you’re talking about?
There was literally a thread a week or two ago about Evercore saying the same thing. Don’t be jealous someone else got a better offer than you.
People have been saying this about every single EB on a different week
This is like saying THL and AEA is a better PE offer than KPS because THL and AEA take kids from more pedigreed top BB/EB backgrounds compared to KPS.
Tell me you didn’t get an offer without telling me you didn’t get an offer lol
