Lazard’s exits are on par with any bank on the street. Place extremely well into top MFs. You’ll get looks from about anywhere you want coming out of Lazard in NY. Recent pay bump to $120k base + 80-100% bonus means they’ll finally have comp in line with other EBs. I think these factors along with Lazard having the greatest prestige/brand name of any EB puts it in the top tier of opportunities within banking. Personally would take (CVP/EVR/LAZ) over any other firm for the enhanced learning experience and exposure to clients and senior talent. Have also heard anecdotally that generally EB analysts come into PE far more prepared than their BB counterparts.
As far as groups go, Lazard is known to be extremely sweaty across groups. Don’t work there so honestly don’t know too much about the different groups.

EB is Paradise
Bump
Lazard HC is a notoriously sweaty group but exits are as good as any group in banking. Deal flow at every group is strong though you can’t go wrong here. Would focus more on culture in your choice if I were you.
How is Lazard’s comp relative to other firms after the shake up of salary bumps?
What are the strongest groups?
RX and HC come to mind. Industrials is good, especially for exits. FIG isn't probably as elite as when they had Gary Parr but still good. And legacy Consumer team was historically pretty strong.
What are RX exits? Can you get MF PE?
No, Lazard RX exclusively exits to Big 4
Haha. Serious question though. Is it different than M&A exit opps? I recognize that many people go to special sots etc., but if someone wanted UMM PE or MF PE is it possible/realistic?
There’s a previous thread where an ex-Employee lays out the groups really well. I think it’s more of a culture lay out of each group so not much on each groups exits tho. Would link it here but I’m on my phone.
