real talk. that 100 light week is total bullshit. hours are no better or worse than any bank. let's stop perpetuating the mystique around Moelis and getting crushed.

lean deal team? it's not like anyone but analysts do work so analysts always get wasted either due to incompetence of associates and vps or pathetic MDs willing to do any and all

 

Not anymore...the new class is 30 kids (up from 18) and this divides up the workload in a much nicer way now, they've added one protected vacation week for analysts every 6 months and the placements have still been just as great

 

I work at Moelis, I'm an analyst though. I'd say the associates' hours are long, but I don't think they are substantially worse than your average BB, and they have a much closer relationship with the senior people. I think some of it is a self fulfilling prophecy - at Moelis, the c-suite notices when you leave the office early. At Goldman, that's not the case.

 

Definitely not. They'll just pitch more. They wouldn't have hired a big class if they didn't think they had enough work to keep you all sleepless and bloodshot.

Is it just me or do people think philliesphan should get a job and spam the boards with his dumb questions afterwards. Seems retarded to worry about this or do bank vs. bank when you don't have offers at any of them.

 

@CalvinC there is always work to do. i promise you Moelis is not exceptional in how much they work. in fact i think analysts there do believe they work harder than "the street" but they're just buying into hype. everyone works a lot unless you're in a crap group at a crap bank.
