Lateral to Moelis

What are people's thoughts on lateralling to Moelis from a 2nd tier bank? Specifically their LA office. Given that they have a smaller analyst pool, is it futile to try to get in as a 2nd yr analyst?

I wouldn't walk around with the mindset of getting in a specific group at a specific shop. Have an ideal environment you would like to be apart of and try to find it.

That opening within Moelis LA may never come up in the next 3 years...
