Does prestige of full time position really matter, now that PE recruiting is so early?
Would there still be a big difference between places like 1. PJT, EVR, GS, MS vs 2. BAML, Moelis NY, PWP, JPM, CS, Lazard if almost no analysts would be able to talk about a closed deal? Interviews for PE are happening 6 months into the job.
Timeline for SA is very accelerated right now, so if we (as sophomores) get an offer from one of the firms in the second group, should we take it? I'm assuming that it would be hard to recruit full time at any of these places for full time, so getting a return offer from an internship would be the best bet.
Since when is Lazard below PJT/EVR.
Also... as a sophomore the last thing I would worry about is PE recruiting lmfao worry about getting an offer first and then getting the return. And oh, this is assuming we don't hit a recession in the next 2-3 years that your offer won't get cancelled on you.
Since when has Lazard not been below PJT/EVR?
Lazard really slipping recently, now a tier 2 EB for sure
He’s an industry professional and has either worked for, with, or against many Lazard employees.
Your only exposure to the industry is from other college kids who needlessly group banks into tiers like some sort of shitty extension of college confidential. Congrats on getting an offer to an EB; hopefully I don’t have to deal with you this summer if it’s the one I think it is.
