Moelis & Company Summer Analyst Internship

Moelis's Summer Analyst Program hosts a selective class of 25-40 interns for a 10-week experience infused with the firm's entrepreneurial energy. Interns earn approximately $2,115-$2,210 per week ($110K-$115K annualized) with housing stipends. The training period is efficient and practical, focused on the modeling and advisory skills interns will use immediately when staffed on live deals. Moelis interns are expected to be proactive and resourceful, reflecting the firm's culture of self-starters. Staffing on active M&A advisory mandates begins quickly, and interns contribute to pitch books, financial analyses, and client materials alongside full-time analysts. The firm's entrepreneurial ethos extends to the intern experience: candidates who demonstrate initiative, generate ideas, and show commercial instinct are noticed and rewarded. The conversion rate is approximately 75-85%, with Moelis evaluating interns on ambition and drive as much as technical skill. The mid-summer review provides direct feedback, and in a firm of Moelis's size, senior bankers have direct awareness of each intern's performance. Recruiting follows the standard elite boutique timeline, with applications due early and a competitive selection process. What makes the Moelis internship distinctive is the culture: interns are encouraged to think like bankers from day one, not just execute tasks. The activist advisory and special situations deal flow creates interesting and differentiated project opportunities. For candidates who are naturally entrepreneurial and want an internship that rewards initiative as much as analytical precision, Moelis offers an experience that few other firms can match.
