Job Offer Dilemma: Lazard/SocGen or Parthenon/Booz/LEK

HYP grad looking for advice on which offer has the best exit opportunities along with quality of work, etc. In terms of consulting, which firm has a better name/prestige?

1) Lazard Asset Management - Analyst role 2) SocGen Junior Trader 3) Parthenon/Booz/LEK undergrad consultant

Asset management and Junior trader positions have little to do with consulting. If youre thinking of starting from finance and jumping into consulting, in terms of pure prestige, work experience, and exit ops, Lazard no question bout it.
