What’s it like working at Moelis?
Historically I have heard Moelis has very long hours like most EBs but places very well for buyside.
Recently met someone who used to work there and sounded like she had light hours and plenty of free time, relatively speaking. Have hours improved there?
Really depends on your group / Analyst level / deals.
If you are on a nightmarish multi-billion dollar M&A transaction + another live deal and holding the pen on the model for both transactions, you might have few weeks where you are working 120 hours non stop.
Other weeks you might be chilling because all of your deals are quiet and / or you have a deal closed so staffer gives you some breathing room (easy pitches, etc.)
But I think in general we are still pretty sweaty compared to other BB/EBs
I'm not OP but have a lateral interview coming up for Moelis and wanted to learn more about the group. How would you describe the people in your class, is everyone kind of a hardo / lives and breathes finance? Have heard the interview questions are very technical
Any info on the new analysts pe placement?
Wondering as well
How many analysts in each class?
most recent SA class was about ~70, but was by far the largest class they've had
That’s including summer associates, NYC IB was closer 50 which is slightly higher than last summer
I’ve heard it varies quite a bit by location. LA/ NYC sweatier than CHI/ HOU offices based on my understanding for example
del
About 70-80% of the class goes to buyside from my class
Former employee told me, “During my time at Moelis I had the displeasure of working with some of the worst people in the world.” They did get a MF exit though
