Moelis NY Exits List

I was recently shown a list of the Moelis NY analyst placements for the class of 2019, which is the class that finished their 2 years this past summer.

30/36 left for the buy side. I was shocked at the percentage who landed spots compared to what I’ve seen from my group. How does this compare to top groups at BBs, and other EBs?

Controversial

People throwing MS at this but if you actually look at the list he's not wrong.

Nobody going to Blackstone / KKR / Apollo / TPG / H&F / Warburg / Silver Lake / Vista / Bain Cap or Other Large Cap PE funds

Candidly, there of the 30 exits here, only 3 are to top UMM / MF funds: 1 apiece to Thoma Bravo, Carlyle, and Berkshire. That said, there are some cool hedge fund / growth equity exits on here so that may just be selection bias in terms of what candidates were recruiting for. Overall this is a good list of exits for sure, but it would be literally untrue to say this class crushed on cycle large cap PE recruiting.  

 
Funniest

Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

I don't get the hate - are the firms above not considered good exits? 

Oh you poor thing. Somebody explain to him how it works. You aren't allowed to be proud of things here, Analyst 1. You could literally cure cancer and post an AMA here and the thread would be filled with kids from Jefferies saying shit like "Bro honestly I'm not taking anything away from you but if you want to talk facts Alzheimers is a way more prestigious disease to cure"
