Moelis SF vs Audax SF
Hi, I’m pretty new on the forum but I have full time roles from each of the firms listed above. Moelis for Tech M&A and Restructuring in SF and Audax for PE Analyst in the SF office. Was wondering which one people here would recommend in terms of experience, analyst program, exit ops into PE. Audax is obviously a good choice since it’s in the same industry but many people have also told me that Moelis exits are strong in the UMM/MF level. For me, I want to be in SF so that’s why I recruited for those offices so it’s not affecting my decision much. So if anyone here can share their input on which will better position me for the future that would be extremely helpful! Thanks
Moelis SF has great exits and better culture than other Moelis offices from what I hear. Audax has an extremely sweaty analyst program but they are good investors and I have seen kids lateral as associates/vps to better funds after an analyst stint. I would go Moelis if you are interested in tech. You will get extremely strong MF looks during on-cycle, add that banking stamp to your resume, and have more wiggle room for mistakes starting out in IB instead of PE, along with optionality. Best of luck whatever you decide.
Thanks, super helpful perspective
Audax seems to be the pretty obvious choice here to me...if you want to do PE, go to the PE shop that has a PE analyst program, so long as they promote to associate and teach you. You will do large(ish) cap buyout, and its not a guarantee you will get that from Moelis SF.
Also like do u really have the offer - Moelis SF tech restructuring?? Is that really a thing?
Audax is a MM PE firm. $500mm deal is considered large there.
