What are thoughts on Moelis SF? Deal flow/exit ops, etc...
Also is it true Moelis generally pays above street?
Thanks!

Yes on pay. No perspective on SF - NY and LA are solid.
Thanks HY. Anyone else have any insight?
Higher than street pay, wider than street asshole spread
Friend works there now. Deal flow is very solid (albiet mostly in upper middle market semiconductors, hardware, communication technology, with some software) and because small office (~15-20 people) deal teams are extremely lean so junior bankers get to do a bunch of work. Pay is same across all MoCo offices, exit opps are unclear because the office is really ramping up now that they moved to the city (from palo alto) and they're making moves on some bigger deals/clients in the past so there isnt much precedent, but my guess is slightly below the (unbelievable) MoCo LA / NYC placement. That being said, Moelis name still gets guys in the door at most of the big shops
Does small office mean longer hours than usual banking?
Yes, but Moelis in general works their employees like dogs (aka incredibly long hours). I'd say MoCo SF/Chicago/Houton/ anything not LA/NYC work longer than the average other BB/EB in those cities (excluding known sweatshops a la GS TMT SF, MS Menlo TMT, Qatalyst etc)
It is a sweatshop, it is gonna be a good gig.
Know a friend in nyc office. Analyst and associates gets destroyed but the pay is also way above street.
