Blessed to have received offers from both firms. Interested to see what people think is a stronger overall choice. Interested in exiting to PE but unsure which has better opportunities. Lazard pays more but JPM is more well known. What would you choose?

Would definitely pick JPM if you can be placed in M&A or healthcare
Lazard

Go to JPM. Lazard is brutal and on the decline (has been for decades)
I’ve seen you send hate at Lazard in every forum that mentions it. What a joke
Did a summer there, think I’d know lol. Left ASAP
Bump, have offers for both places. Anyone care to share some insight. JPM or LAZ both NY office.
JPM M&A/HC/M&C > Lazard > rest of JPM groups
What is m&c
Xxxxx
and Lizard is shit
You’re splitting hairs at this point, both will give you looks and opportunities at every single MF or Corp Dev role you can think of. Pick wherever you like the people most since you’re gonna be spending quite a lot of time with your coworkers.

Congrats on CS

Don't care about analyst experience. Which one will get more looks in finance?
