I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Moelis & Company (Boston, MA) in Jan 2024
Interview
The first round was a phone call with an analyst. There was a few basic tell us about yourself, why IB why Moelis. The rest of the interview was completely technical questions. Has some about income statements and Enterprise and equity value.
First round was immediately into technicals for the entire 30 minute duration. Questions were mainly focused around merger models and market fundamentals. Interviewer seemed to be blunt and to the point, but was willing to let me talk through my thought processes to reach an answer. Made it to Superday.
