To those in Harvard

Hey Harvardites (is that what they call themselves? I know Yale kids are Yallies, and Cornell kids are Cornellians, Princetonians...etc)

I was hoping you could do me a favor. I took a look at your career services listings (http://www.ocs.fas.harvard.edu/students/jobs/inte…)

It's very impressive and no way does my T2 school offer as many opportunities as you guys.

I was wondering if anyone with access to Harvard's recruiting site could copy paste the descriptions for the following:

  1. Bain Capital/ Sankaty Advisors / Analyst CODE 10441S
  2. Lazard / Real Estate Investment Banking / Summer Analyst CODE 13922S

Thank you in advance!

Thank you- i am no way bashing my school, i just know where it stands and am not going to try to spice it up like some people do on these forums who go nuts talking about how all the banks recruit, etc. My school has alumni at all the major banks, but places like Lazard and Bain Cap/Sankaty Advisors are hard to find. I am proud of my school, but no where it stands in the financial world.

Thanks again though for the post. I really could not find that one or the posting for the Lazard Real Estate analyst position. I wanted to see what Lazard's RE group does as they don't have the capability to bring their balance sheet (issue CMBS like the other banks) so therefore miss out on some of the large trophy RE deals.

I swear though that I tried typing in all the various ways of inputting the Lazard RE position but came up with nothing. Do you have that as well?

Thanks so much.
