I would avoid -- they just cut a lot of the office after George Bilicic left for Sempra Energy.
Do you think this would affect exit opps?
I don't think they do much on deal execution as it gets outsourced to industry groups. I can be wrong, but think its more a relationship building role that's more qualitative than traditional coverage IB?
Yes! In the job description, they say that its focus is on relationship building. So basically you won't get real deal experiences?
Anyone can shed light about this group?
I just had a phone screen today
Just curious, does this group do deal executions at all?
Wow. That's interesting.
Would avoid this group - try for restructuring Chicago instead if PE is something you have in mind
How is their Chicago RX regarded in comparison to NY?
Pretty equal- very solid group.
I've seen in a couple places that Lazard's Midwest Advisory Group is what they call their M&A practice. Can anyone confirm this?
I had a phone screen with an analyst a couple weeks ago. He confirmed that the MWA Group is just what they call M&A.
They just pitch - all execution on deals that turn live get outsourced to other offices.
What level did you recruit for? Also, did you hear back about the SD? I was told SD would be this Friday and I have not heard back.
Anyone heard back on the SA 2020 timeline?
I have a phone screen at the end of this week. I'd assume this means they're still gathering candidates for a superday.
Full-time or SA?
Really? Did your contact give you a rough estimate for when they might do the SD?
Did anyone here get Lazard SD invites? Also, what level did you guys recruit for?I was told this Friday would be the SD but there has been no communication yet? Does it mean I am dinged?
I got a SD invite, but it's on the 16th, not this Friday.
Thanks for sharing that-when did you get the invite? Also, is it for Summer Analyst or Summer Associate?
Have you heard anything back yet?
This has to be the only group out there still recruiting right now lmao
How's Lazard MM different from traditional Lazard advisory?
It's almost an entirely different organization. They recruit separately, bonus pools are separate, and most importantly, headhunters view them very separately
Has anyone heard anything for summer associate program? I had SD on the 17th. Haven't heard anything since.
Has anyone heard back with SD decisions?
Bump
I'd try to leverage if you do get the offer. Exit opps in recent years have been pretty poor according to past threads
Leverage what??
“Prospect in IB” and educating others about exit opps?
Did anyone interviewed/heard anything back about FT positions?
Were the phone screens super technical? What type of questions were asked at Superday?
