Moelis NYC 2021 - Best Groups?

Hey all,

Saw a similar post for EVR and with NY MoCo cutting the generalist program, thought it would be very relevant for incoming SA/Analysts.


Wanted to get some thoughts from current/past members of the street/MoCo on the top groups to join at MoCo (culture, exits, dealflow) and strength of the TMT group in NY? I know Media in LA is strong but wasn't sure about the NYC presence, and there isn't much info on WSO about recent NYC developments. Can anyone confirm/deny? Also interested in hearing if people have thoughts on other groups like Transpo, HC, FIG?


Thanks so much!

 

Hi Intern in IB - Cov, don't worry, the WSO Monkey Bot is here.... I'm hoping one of these links will help find your answer:

More suggestions...

Hope that helps.

Heard from friends that HC and business services are seen as good groups but very sweaty. Ton of people in consumer left and has weaker deal flow, but would love to hear others thoughts

Gaming/Cannabis - best group in terms of deal flow/people/culture. Everyone in those groups kill it and are great to work with.

HC Services - best group at the firm for deal flow and PE exits but you will get grinded. All the VPs quit over the summer but group does a good job recently of staffing up two analysts and two associates to help with workstreams. You will get really good quickly.

Business Services - solid. Great people and good deal flow

Chemicals - great people and cool deals

Broader industrials - also a great group

Media - very interesting deals but super sweaty. 

Tech/Telecom - would definitely avoid

Asset Management - best people to work with at the firm and they do tons of deals

RX - arguably the best or one of the best groups on the street. People are incredibly sharp and great people to work with. Don't waste your time on bullshit tasks which is great

Other groups not mentioned are good just unfamiliar with

 

This is a pretty good summary, I'll add a few:

M&A - (assuming they hire analysts), very technical and you'll do high profile stuff but generally they are called in for the real 'hairy' stuff (since every group is technically doing M&A) so can be sweaty

FinTech - new team compared to the other groups so less deal flow but still developing

Capital Solutions - they may end up recruiting separately but exceptionally active, especially with SPACs. At the junior level it feels like the coverage teams do more of the lifting though

Consumer - small team but think they generally have good feedback from the juniors that work with them

P&U - quite a bit or turnover since COVID in the middle ranks but the MDs are all very senior/established and have good dealflow. Seems like the team has stabilized and generally juniors seem to either really like it or avoid altogether

FIG - not a very big group (as opposed to BBs where it is normally a massive group). As mentioned above the asset management team in general has great feedback from the juniors and has nice deal flow (but is just like 1 MD). The rest of the group is more 'specialty finance' oriented and generally works with the Chicago team as well on more specialty lending, leasing, etc. type things
