Lazard LA Update???

These are my questions in relation to the Laz LA office: Is it a diversified program for analysts? Which industry verticals make up the majority of the deal sourcing? Ive heard A&D, but can someone confirm. Are deals executed in addition to being sourced in the LA office - or would majority of the execution work be done out of NY? How strong are exit opps at the LA office? How big are the class sizes? Comp/bonus numbers for nascent analysts?

Would really appreciate any insight!
