FSG is arguably CS’s top group, but Lazard is regarded as a top 3 EB.
Wanting opinions and thoughts on the differences between the two groups for a summer analyst position. Considering wlb, exit opps, experience, and compensation, which would you choose/recommend to another for a SA position which would lead to FT employment?

Would personally take Lazard, but CS FSG sounds great for career banking. EB's can't really compete with BB's in FSG.
I’d go CS FSG for culture and exits
.
Can't go wrong with either, but considering exits / culture / (sponsors) experience I think CS FSG slightly beats out Lazard
