I have an offer from both for SA 2023. They will both be in NY and I have yet to be assigned a group for cowen. I'm not sure which to go with, since I know that PCA is not one of Lazard's strongest groups, but is it still worth it over Cowen in terms of exit opps, culture, etc. and worth signing?

Dont be a dingus and take the ibd offer. Cowens a strong name
Hmm top group in a rapidly growing industry with significant pay and WLB or m&a at a lower tier mm?
PCA is a really good gig if you're interested in it
PCA imo
I've seen some Lazard transfers from PCA to coverage groups after 18-24 months. Really depends if you have interest/want to join a top PCA group or you'd rather just do M&A. No wrong answers but would let your interests guide you on this one.
can i pm you?
I'd rather not PM. Happy to answer any questions here.
Saw a WSJ article that some Laz MD in PCA switched over to UBS
