Based on previous WSO threads, Moelis has a history of opening applications early for their Summer Analyst (SA) programs, especially in specific locations like Houston. If you're starting a thread for Moelis SA 2027, here are some tips and insights to consider:

  1. Application Timeline: Historically, Moelis has reviewed resumes on a rolling basis, so applying early can be advantageous. Keep an eye on updates for superday schedules and interview rounds.

  2. Networking: Networking is crucial. Reach out to alumni or current analysts at Moelis to gain insights into the process and culture. This can also help you secure referrals.

  3. Interview Prep: Moelis interviews are known to be rigorous, often focusing on technical skills (DCF, M&A, LBO, etc.) and behavioral questions. Utilize resources like the WSO Financial Modeling Series to sharpen your skills.

  4. Guaranteed Offers: In some years, Moelis has offered guaranteed full-time offers to interns. While this may vary, it’s worth keeping in mind as a potential incentive.

  5. Houston Office: If you're targeting Houston, research the deal flow and culture specific to that office. Previous threads have highlighted interest in energy-focused deals and a collaborative environment.

Feel free to share updates, questions, or insights as the process unfolds!

Heard incoming SA27 going to an EB in Houston lied about his 3.8GPA on his resume - they must not check credentials very deep. 

 

how do you expect them to check credentials before background check...

 

They were still doing interviews for generalist NY on Friday the 23rd, I'd assume for non-cores. Has anyone heard anything about generalist NY SD's?

 

Had R1 last week, think SDs came out late last Friday. Assume we’re cooked if haven’t heard anything
