Moelis NYC Culture??
Anyone have insight into what it's like? It seems like they were super sweaty a few years ago but I've heard they've made an effort to make it better at the analyst and associate level.

Nah still sweaty af
Bring sleeping bag to office
They hired a lot more. You will still get worked if you’re good, but if you’re mediocre / bad it’s pretty easy to hide and have a nice life with pretty strong comp.
Not sure who MS’d the above but I work there and generally would agree. I wouldn’t say it’s “easy” by any stretch but much better than it used to be.
Hows the LA office?
I interned at another boutique and my roommate was at Moelis, both of us in NYC. The hours are longer on average than BBs, but between the two of us there wasn't a huge difference to be honest. She probably did one or two extra weekends and got home half an hour later than me a day or two each week, but I wouldn't say it's miles worse than other firms of a similar caliber.
I have heard horror stories about the early 2010s, but agree—now that analyst class sizes are 30+ it seems to have toned down a little
Still extremely long hours from what I've heard
How's staffing been during non-Covid times? For example, are you able to state your industry preferences to the staffer as well as preference for M&A over RX for example, and will those requests be accommodated to the extent possible?
I ask because my school is a primary target for Moelis NY, but I am interested more so in M&A rather than RX, esp in the media space. I do understand that during the pandemic, it's likely all hands on deck for RX mandates. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
If you want to do primarily media M&A you should apply to the LA office. That's their bread and butter
Yes, you can position yourself to avoid RX especially as an associate.
