Lazard PMA (MM) ≠ EB or actual Lazard?

Thanks to some recent rebranding - there is some confusion on this whole Lazard thing. Personally, my hot take is that regardless of all this, the general sentiment on the street is that Lazard MM/PMA ≠ Lazard, thanks to lower comp and subpar exits. 

My friend seems to be convinced otherwise and dared me to seek opinions from people here.

Can confirm analyst base is the same as big Lazard ($120K), not sure on the bonus side though.
