Lazard LA seemingly one of the most desirable places to be. I didn’t get the superday offer following diversity day, but meeting the entire team in their office was a great experience. Very laid back and intelligent group with lots of interesting deals going on. Not a ton of time spent pitching, mostly live deal execution on sponsor-related mandates. Don’t believe me, check out the older analysts - MD level on LinkedIn. Lot of analysts choose to stay A2A given high comp and ideal lifestyle/culture. I’ve been checking the careers site regularly to see if any spots open up for full time (heard one intern may not be returning FT next year)
