How the session works

See the rep, the score, and the next fix.

A Moelis Investment Banking Analyst session is not a static guide. It makes you answer, scores the recording, explains the score, and gives you the exact next rep to run before the real interview.

The guide is compressed into drills: what Moelistests, where Investment Banking Analyst candidates miss, and which voice or video rep to run next.

Drill 1

Interview focus

Preparing for a Investment Banking Analyst interview at Moelis

Drill 2

What the Moelis Interview Process Looks Like

Moelis typically runs a three stage process for Analyst roles. The first stage is a phone screen with a member of the recruiting team or a junior banker, usually lasting 30 45 minutes. They'll cover your background, why banking, why Moelis, and a light technical question or two to confirm you've done basic prep.

Drill 3

What Kind of Questions They Ask

Moelis interviewers ask a mix of technical, behavioral, and deal specific questions. On the technical side, expect fundamentals: walk me through a three statement model, explain how a leveraged buyout works, what happens to EPS in an accretion/dilution scenario.

Drill 4

What Moelis Looks for in an Investment Banking Analyst

Moelis hires analysts who are technically sound but not necessarily experts—you'll learn on the job. What they want is intellectual rigor: can you break down a complex problem, make reasonable assumptions, and communicate your thinking clearly? They also want evidence that you understand what banking actually is.

Drill 5

Common Pitfalls

The biggest mistake is giving vague answers. "I'm interested in banking because it's a good career" tells them nothing. They want to hear what specifically drew you—maybe you worked on a project that involved financial analysis, or you followed a particular industry and got curious about how deals work. Specificity signals you've thought this through.

Drill 6

The 48 Hour Prep Plan

Day 1 (48 hours before): Review Moelis' website, recent press releases, and 2 3 major transactions they've worked on in the past year. Write down one sentence on each: what was the deal, why did it matter, what was Moelis' role. Build or rebuild a simple three statement model in Excel. Make sure you can explain it in under two minutes.
