*Dont mind the tag, I picked a random one*
I'm an incoming analyst and my friend and I are arguing over which firm (Moelis NYC Generalist vs MS NYC M&A) you would take as a summer analyst. Clearly, there are pros and cons to EBs vs BBs, but if work culture is the same, which one would u choose as someone who wants to do PE afterwards.

MS if M&A or Mediacomm. Moelis for everything else
what about MS M&A vs Moelis Generalist (both NYC)?
Is this a joke? MS M&A and it isn't close.
Bro who cares. How insecure are you two? They’re both amazing shops.
Not insecure, but we're both creating recruitment slides for our finance club and we were genuinely curious which firm people on WSO would choose if group/work culture were the same
So y’all are presenting to prestige obsessed freshmen and sophomores. They’d punch their own grandparents for either.
Jesus…if you have any WSO references in your slides please kill them.
Is this a joke? MS M&A and it isn't close.
morgan stanley so girls think im loaded at bars. who tf knows moelis
both great firms anyway so might as well choose the one that people actually know
LMAO fair enough, ty for the input
MS M&A is better. The team places lights out for the buyside and is incredibly well respected on the street.
Is this a joke? MS M&A and it isn't close.
lmfao, why would anyone pick Moelis over MS, let alone MS M&A?
MS M&A is like a top 3 group on the street along with GS TMT and PJT RSSG
Morgan Stanley is better
MS > Moelis for prestige and exits.
I have a feeling this guy is an incoming analyst at Moelis and is making up this bullshit "club situation" so he can get his ego fed if people pick Moelis.
HAHAHA nah I'm going to MS, but thanks for the input. My friend's just super biased for EBs
That’s why u gave Monkey shit to everyone who chose MS?
M&A at MS is top notch. Any other group probably ride with an EB tho.
Both good, probably MS
Like others have said, it depends on the group
M&A and Menlo Tech are the best groups at MS, but Moelis has a better RX and Healthcare team.
Unless if you're going to M&A or MS Menlo, I'd go Moelis
I would chose Moellis for their sanitation group and Morgan Stanley for window washing coverage
MS over Moelis because better hours, exits, and higher end of the year BONUS 🤷♂️
