Lazard M&A vs. Mizuho vs. BofA vs. PJT M&A

CO'28; was fortunate to receive multiple offers for next summer and currently trying to decide. Would really appreciate any insights into what may be better from a future exit perspective

PJT or BofA, Laz lowkey not in good shape (this is assuming you want to do 2 years)

Take Laz or PJT. Depends on what u want out of your analyst program.

Not sure why ppl talking about Laz being a sinking ship, the firm is still crushing and if u wanna talk about downfalls, look at Evercore and their Bulge Bracket analyst classes

In reality EVR/PJT/LAZ/CVP/MOE are all great firms and none of them are dying lmao. Just choose what u want
