Knowing reputation of Moelis, why would you choose to work there over competitors? My understanding is that comp is on par with the other EBs but hours are consistently & materially worse, am I wrong?

Not everyone can be picky and also most people are in it for the short haul anyway. Most kids can get something solid lined up within 6 mo of starting given buy side recruiting timelines and Moelis still has a decent rep.

It’s bad at the junior level right now because of some attrition earlier in the year. They are actively hiring laterals now, so hopefully that improves the hours for everyone

They get paid more

^news flash, every bank in the planet says this when they are “understaffed”. Unfortunately banks are short-term incentivized to run their junior team into the ground to get those sweet high margin $$$. Long-term doesn’t matter to many senior bankers as they are ready to jump ship whenever convenient+profitable and / or be counseled out in a heartbeat. Sprinkle in that most analysts are 2-and-out + heavy associate attrition and banks have no incentive to hire the headcount needed to staff at a sane level

I actually can’t tell if OP is joking? Moelis pays ~100k more than LAZ at the associate level and the hours are significantly better. The real question is: why would anyone work at LAZ knowing the comp is mediocre (on par w Barclays) and the hours are near, if not, the worst on the street
