Lazard NY M&A vs JPM NY

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

 

I’ve seen you send hate at Lazard in every forum that mentions it. What a joke

 

Bump, have offers for both places. Anyone care to share some insight. JPM or LAZ both NY office.

 

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