Bruh apps were open?
For real
WTFFF
Rip we all seem to have missed deadline😭
Any idea what Moelis FT interviews were like historically?
This is from summer 2014 for FT 2015. First round had 30 minute phone with senior associate or so. Mainly basic technicals on valuation, LBO, general finance knowledge. Second round in person two back to back in office interviews. One a 2 on 1 (Vp and associate) the other with staffer (vp). Basic technicals again with more accounting heavy and more PE stuff. Then mainly fit with staffer
This has to be a handshake thing and not a job app posting. I've spoken with an analyst and md and both said they don't know about ft needs yet and to follow up on the 16th. Update they just posted a job app on their site.
recruiter emailed me saying job posting was up. It was up for 48 hours. I was referred though
Same^
HR sent an email to all analysts requesting referrals for FT2022 last week, I would assume invites are going out soon
Today?
please post the moment you guys get the interview today so I don't sit around thinking they haven't sent them out yet
If recruiting kicks off next week, should we expect to hear today or Monday about first rounds?
Interviews will come out on Monday, HR just confirmed
Just got that email as well. Wonder how many people applied, how many will get interviews, and how many they’re looking to hire
deleted
so HR reaching out to ask for exploding offers and tell us to apply means it's a good sign?
Any update?
haven't heard back yet. Anyone heard anything?
DELETE
how can the first rounds be today if we havent gotten emails yet?
I got an email asking to confirm the deadlines of return offers, as applicable. I interned at a BB this past summer, just for reference.
Same
I know we are supposed to hear today - Not sure on time. Has anyone heard?
Nothing yet
this is weird I still haven't heard from HR..
Still nothing?
nuthin
Hr reached out about newest resume and exploding deadline a few days ago, still haven’t heard back
1st rounds this week.
Source: email from HR just dropped.
I am freaking out.
can anyone confirm
Is it just timeline or did u receive a first round?
I was invited to a first-round. I was also previously asked about return offer deadlines as well, so maybe keep an eye out if you got an email like that? I think HR is sending out emails right now too though, keep an eye on inbox. I pray we all do well this recruiting season.
Anyone else seeing that all slots are currently full?
If we havn't gotten an email are we dinged?
Probably :(
How many interviews did they give?
How were interviews?
Bump
Superdays are happening tomorrow and Friday. Anyone heard back yet?
Any intel on numbers? How many are they hiring?
I believe around 8-10 were interviewed each day (Tues/Wed)
Source?
How technical were the interviews?
Standard.
Haven’t heard anything. There were four first round interview slots today though
Maybe two sets of interviewers per slot?
any updates?
Did anyone here get a SD?
Yep, superdays taking place tomorrow
Did you interview on Tuesday or today, and did you get a second email beyond the timeline from HR?
I interviewed today but haven’t heard any news (good or bad)
Same. Nerve wracking.
I don’t want to jump to conclusions and assume not hearing back immediately after yesterday means a ding, but it probably does. Ah well.
Anyone interview today hear about SD?
There were interviews today?
DELETED
Still waiting to hear back
If anyone hears back from the SF sd today for the FT analyst position, please keep everyone else posted.
.
Lmk if yall hear back from the super - I had mine yesterday morning and still waiting
How did it go?
Got an email, and interviewed on Wednesday for first round. It was a no.
Did they let people that didn’t get one know they were dinged?
I just got an email earlier today saying I was dinged, yeah.
Still waiting to hear from my super yesterday. Any updates?
Is this the NY office?
ye - did anyone hear
Had my super yesterday too; got an email from HR at around 3pm ET that I got dinged. It was super impersonal though so hoping that it was because I had to register multiple times due to tech issues rather than a rejection from the superday but not optimistic.
offers came out. gl man im sorry to hear that
.
One of my interviewers called last night after I reached out to check on the status of my application. They told me they need another 24 hours to decide, so either they've already made an offer or will do so at some stage today. I'm giving it another few hours before giving up hope
Any update? Did they end up giving offers today?
Did New York receive offers/rejections? and if so, by email or phone?
Anyone here in for Chicago (just came out today)? Also, for NYC people, were there any curve balls? Have heard other EBs give less common technical questions
Any chance you remember the questions from your Moelis CHI interview?
Hmmm I think pretty basic ones. Got one about levers in an LBO model and how would I value Tesla (or something along these lines, I just remember something about Tesla and I completely fumbled the bag on it). It's been a year so I don't remember too many specifics, but I remember I only really clicked with/liked one of my four interviewers that much lol. If you have the Indian guy (associate), beware. He was a douche canoe and must have had a chip on his shoulder and been out to prove something hahaha
