BarCap vs. Citi vs. CS vs. LAZ

  • Strong inroads in nat res, CMG, and consumer / retail at BarCap
  • Placement into either M&A or industrials at Citi
  • Healthcare or industrials at CS

All positions are in NYC. I'm leaning towards LAZ or CS right now, but I have no clue about post-analyst placement at Lazard

Any ideas?

Thanks guys. I summered in S&T at one of these my sophomore year, and IB at another this past summer. Still in the process for MS, which would probably be my first choice.

Patrick, thank you. I've checked out most of those threads but the placement info isn't really substantial. I was hoping more for some current / summer analysts from Lazard to chime in and talk about placement.

 

Lazard seems like the best option out of all of those. And like ^^^ said, CS Industrials isn't the top group at the bank. BarCap NatRes got a lot of good bankers from Lehman, but still...LAZARD? In front by a mile.

Also, the search function is not hard to use.
