Moelis LA - Updated Info

Hey all,

Does anyone have any updated information on Moelis LA? Have a first round scheduled late this week, and I've heard that they expanded their class size to 10, and the hours are getting better (still sucks, but better than NY). Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!

Speaking with people from the office before it is typical for them to have 8-10 full time analysts, not really much of an expansion. Hours are crazy but the culture is supposedly bro-ey, assuming it is a laid back culture, its also the west coast. I just remember that they had a really strong media and entertainment focus, at least from the people I spoke with. Obviously they touch many other industries... just my two cents on what I've heard from them. Didn't know they were starting this early as well. Are you a target for them or west coast school?

 

Just wanted to chime in (even though I created the thread) and say that they definitely do get looks from east coast PE.

 

i think the whole argument with school ranking is totally overrated. There will be exceptional candidates in every top 25 schools. Why wouldnt they recruit there if the students in cornell are smart and driven?

 

I think business fraternities feed into banking more often because of their culture, but a lot of good candidates (in some of the better positions, I might add) don't come from those organizations.

 

I don't have any recent information, but based on talking to people there a year or so ago it seems that you don't really get a generalist experience anymore. A few people that focused on RX are gone, so now you are left to do media, particularly broadcasting, with some consumer stuff sprinkled in. Fun times.
