Hi all, I've seen that Moelis kicked off recruiting for London SAs a month earlier this year. I'm new to all this so just thought of starting this thread so questions on timeline/calls etc could be asked.

How did you hear about this?
company website?
Anyone got the tests yet?
No afaik
I have had them
Update: the OAs have been out for a couple days by now
Hey, does your application centre show "Status: Application Update" after submitting the OA?
Am I the only one who didn’t get the test?
Applied 27th, got test yesterday and did it today - u might be dinged :/
the OA is selective or auto?
Anyone get passed the OA stage?
Nothing yet
Haven’t heard back from OA yet
Its fine. ill take it tomorrow
Those who have successfully passed OA will hear back within 3 weeks of completing it. Otherwise you will be ghosted.
Source: Have a friend who is currently interning in London.
Thx bro, 17 days left then ig.
Are you meant to hear back after OA in terms of how you did or is it just silence until you made it to the next stage
Just silence
Have you heard anything from Moelis yet?
nothing and havent heard of anyone else either receiving anything
Anyone hear back post-OA?
Not yet, will probably take a bit less than 10 days tho
Bump
Anyone heard anything?
I heard that they'd get back within 3 weeks post OA
3 weeks from a certain date or 3 weeks from when each individual completed it.
Thx tho, here’s hoping.

Did they start calling for the First Round?
Still nothing, anyone else?
Received an OA link before submitting application. Decided to email recruiting to ask whether I should complete OA or if they could reopen my application. No response. Emailed again. No response. 7+ days have passed since receiving OA link. What should I do?
Very frustrated as Moelis was one of my high targets and thought I had a strong chance thanks to prior networking.
Anyone had a response after completing OA?
still nothing

following, anything new?
Still nothing.

first rounds out apparently... can someone confirm lol
Can’t confirm but seems strange they’d come out on a Sunday…
Tracker has confirmed it. This cycle is cold af
Where?
i don’t think the tracker is 100% accurate on the first round dates
It’s so depressing having sent 10-15 applications for SAs and having been ghosted from everywhere (except one rejection 😃) while all the banks start doing first rounds
Stay strong fellow prospect, there's still like 4 places left that do RX *insert other copium here* - gotta be optimistic.
most banks send interviews in batches and some often start with diversity candidates, so if you see banks running first rounds it does not necessarily mean you got dinged if you have not heard back yet (Moelis interviewed people in February last year for example)
Spoke to HR recently- first round interviews should be coming out in the next couple weeks
So first rounds are not out?
No I don't think they are, tbf the tracker is not that accurate on applications stages (ie it said that Greenhil 1st rounds were out the day after it opened)
Yo new hopium just dropped, let’s go.
Fr tho seeing all the EBs at ‘First Round’ on trackr and having none is pain.
Anyone else just received the oa? applied last week and just got the oa invite. is this supposed to be automatic or selective? saw some other comment saying it's automatic
auto but it takes about 3 days to get it
