I was curious to know about Lazard's private funds group....is this the equivalent to a sponsors group at a BB?
Are the hours & intensity equivalent as well? or do the projects have a more long term focus since they are raising funds which can take considerable amounts of time?
Will the skill set and training be still just as good?

You're essentially a secretary in this group. Scheduling calls, updating buyer's lists, etc.
not sure if you are being serious or sarcastic. any Lazard analysts with experience and insight into this group?
What do you think M&A analysts do?
Probably wants to pull together merger models his first day in/advise on $100B+ mergers ala Nick Cage in "The Family Man".
these groups work with funds to draw up a fund raising plan.. create teasers, set up meetings with potential buyers (as oasis said), set up PPM and other stuff for the data room, may be some secondaries transaction advisory and handle pretty much the IR function of these funds. bottom line is there aren't any direct deals involved. exit opps would be other fund placement agencies, secondary funds, fund of funds.
