Hey aquapandy, I swear if I had a silver banana for every lonely thread I posted too I'd be richer than @compbanker ...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
On the general SA 2020 mega thread, someone posted on May 8, "I had first round for Lazard this past Friday so I think they are starting up"
On the general SA 2020 mega thread, @atlas7 posted "Lazard has had a few superdays. Offers have been extended. The goal was to fill around half the class within the first application window. Class size is around 15 interns for M&A/Rx"
I personally know 2 people that have already accepted offers from accelerated superdays.
Also, If I'm not mistaken, the Lazard total sa class will be around 50 interns.
Is that total class size across all locations/mm advisory included? And is the 15 for NY?
There are 15 spots in total for the middle market across all the offices, only about 5-6 spots in NYC
IDK if those #'s are for specific groups or total all locations. Best to ask Lazard directly. If you eventually find out, please post here.
Last summer's intern class was ~35 for NY M&A/Rx, excluding middle market. This doesn't include spots in Lazard's other financial advisory businesses like PCA or CSA, which also take interns.
They've been holding first rounds/at least one super day for the past few weeks.
I know of one person at my school (target) that has signed with them for SA20 already in NYC.
Lol @ the MS. I'm not lying.
Anyone had a first round or superday for Laz Middle Market?
Has anyone heard from Lazard Chicago Midwest Advisory?
Bump
Lazard HOU has started first round interviews as well as of a couple weeks ago
Lazard typically takes about 30 summer interns for NYC (M&A/RX), probably around 50 across all offices. They had a superday two or so weeks ago (for diversity candidates), not sure about superdays for non-diversity or targets.
Can Confirm that the west coast offices have begun superdaying/ handing out offers
I have a first round this week, any advice?
Does anyone have more info on their process? Is it phone screen -> superday? Is it multiple superdays or multiple phone screens? etc.
I was initial phone screen -> superday coming up soon. I was told there would be another phone screen but never ended up happening. I am assuming there is one superday as I have not been told otherwise.
Does anyone have any updates on Lazard MM?
bump
Anyone received a first round phone screen recently?
No, I am also wondering.
They are doing two waves. If you did not apply before April 20th, then you should expect to hear back starting in July (recent apps opened 2 or so weeks ago). Currently, they have filled half their class size and expect to fill the rest July-August.
mrferragamo123 is right that they are doing two waves of recruiting, but is wrong about the numbers. All satellite offices (Chi, SF Tech, LA, Boston) are done save for SF HC, and NYC M&A/RX has already filled 3/4 of their class. There will be another process starting in July/August where they will fill the rest of their class.
I had a phone screen 3 weeks ago and never heard back lol. Thought it went really well and the guy sent me a super nice follow-up email.
Did you apply for the second wave as soon as the apps opened in May?
I applied in April lol and heard back over a month later to set up the phone call. I applied through my school's career portal.
NYC has M&A, RX and what other areas? I thought Lazard SA are generalists and not put into any specific areas. Not correct?
Capital Advisory, Private Capital Advisory, Asset Management, and Equity Research to name a few.
Equity research is within Lazard AM
In addition to M&A/RX, there is Private Capital Advisory, Capital Structure Advisory, and Shareholder Activism. Then there is Lazard Middle Market and Lazard Asset Management, but they are completely separate.
Lazard started super early at my school for non-diversity (target). Couple of my friends did 1r and supers back in March and received offers before the end of the month (M&A). There was no phone screen for this, just direct superday which caught all of us off guard.
I've heard first round calls happening throughout this month as well, both for NY M&A/RX and for SF/Houston. Some supers have happened, but I think they've moved onto the second round of applications at this point.
Anyone have any info regarding Lazard MM Charlotte?
do people know if NY is full already?
info regarding NY?
NY not full, have 5-6 spots still open for which there will be a final superday soon.
Any idea when that superday will be? I thought lazard pushed the second wave entirely back to August/September
I was told by a VP that interviews will happen "sometime in August/September." Fingers crossed haha.
Have first rounds been released for that final superday?
Don't believe so
Anyone know if that also concerns Asset Management at Lazard?
Are apps closed?
Yeah, closed the 14th
Have they sent out first rounds?
don't think so but I could definitely be wrong, it's getting to when I was told the next round of interviews would start though so should be soon
Update: just received an intro first round from target
there will be another superday in the next week or so ... not sure if it’s the last superday though
Can anyone confirm this? I feel like almost everything on WSO so far has been fake news
Yeah that’s fair - i had a first round today and the guy told that they were either going to host a superday this week or next
I spoke with a contact and he said that first rounds indeed have been going out, but they're doing it by school teams. So if you haven't gotten anything yet there's still a chance
What about if you're a non-target? What's the timeline like? Have first rounds come out yet?
Is the Boston SA class already done?
Have a technical phone screen coming up for Houston office, could anybody give me some feedback on what I should expect?
How long did it take for people to hear back from phone interviews?
saw that the LA office posted a job on lazard website, does anyone know if they've already filled up most of their spots?
Missed the app window by a day, but I send an email to the CEO with my resume so I think I'm almost guaranteed a superday. Probably going to turn down the offer though as I have already accepted an ops role in Minnesota.
Did anyone have a superday with LMM this week and head back?
I had a superday this week and haven't heard anything. Has anyone else heard back?
Has anyone heard anything from Shareholder? First round coming up for me. Not really sure what to expect.
yes had a first round
Hi, how was your first round? Is it technical or behavioral focus?
Did you hear back @StarDestroyer55" ? (daily PM reached).
how about Capital Structure Advisory ?
Did you have a first-round with them?
If we had a phone screen a week and a half ago and haven't heard back are we out? Anyone? How long has it taken people to hear back?
the guy side they would be selecting supers this week
super for capital structure advisory?
Anyone hear anything about Private Capital Advisory?
Super's are out for Shareholder.
when did you get it?
This afternoon
Is Lazard IB NY done? Or are there still superdays to come?
Had a super with Shareholder today -- generally, how long does Lazard take to get back? I'd imagine it's a faster process at an EB.
when was your first round? Last week?
Is Lazard NY done?
second that
Anyone has some knowledge about London SA recruiting process, size, conversion rate, and anything else?
Any input on Lazard? I think M&A nyc is definitely done
IS NYC done?
