Moelis NYC 2021 - Best Groups?
Hey all,
Saw a similar post for EVR and with NY MoCo cutting the generalist program, thought it would be very relevant for incoming SA/Analysts.
Wanted to get some thoughts from current/past members of the street/MoCo on the top groups to join at MoCo (culture, exits, dealflow) and strength of the TMT group in NY? I know Media in LA is strong but wasn't sure about the NYC presence, and there isn't much info on WSO about recent NYC developments. Can anyone confirm/deny? Also interested in hearing if people have thoughts on other groups like Transpo, HC, FIG?
Thanks so much!

Gaming/Cannabis - best group in terms of deal flow/people/culture. Everyone in those groups kill it and are great to work with.
HC Services - best group at the firm for deal flow and PE exits but you will get grinded. All the VPs quit over the summer but group does a good job recently of staffing up two analysts and two associates to help with workstreams. You will get really good quickly.
Business Services - solid. Great people and good deal flow
Chemicals - great people and cool deals
Broader industrials - also a great group
Media - very interesting deals but super sweaty.
Tech/Telecom - would definitely avoid
Asset Management - best people to work with at the firm and they do tons of deals
RX - arguably the best or one of the best groups on the street. People are incredibly sharp and great people to work with. Don't waste your time on bullshit tasks which is great
Other groups not mentioned are good just unfamiliar with
RX at Moelis is better than PJT RSSG and EVR RX - given best on the street comment???!?!
EVR RX is not that impressive, kids take it because of the strong overall Evercore name
