Moelis is much sweatier, but a better option.
Know people at both firms, and to affirm the comment above Moelis is sweatier, and not by a slim margin. The hours I hear of from some groups at Moelis first hand are flat out absurd and make it look like the Apollo of the sell-side. Not sure it’s worth your sanity. Analysts in the top groups at both of these firms get the same interview looks for buyside, it’s on you to convert after that.
Exit opps really depend on you specifically, I've seen the best analysts at both firms get highly coveted jobs. I don't think they will be substantially different at a bank level. Prestige is 100% subjective and depends on how you view it, but at a high level, they are roughly similar, maybe Moelis slightly edges it out strictly by brand recognition. Also, Moelis is not as sweaty compared to other banks as people make it seem. If I were you, I would make the decision based off the people you got to know at each firm, who you connected with best, and sector focus, which is really dependent on which office location you're offered at both.
No major difference between the two.
Pick the place you connected with more. It matters much more than the marginal difference (if any) between these firms
