Lazard, a top Elite Boutique posted their applications yesterday. I don’t think interviews have started but it is good to get this thread going...

When do you guys usually submit the online applications for these thing?
I have the same question
I’m planning to submit as soon as I think my resume is not going to change - like after I put my 2020 interns hip down, I don’t think anything will change much
OCR Recruitment events are kicking off now at my target
What does OCT mean
On-campus recruiting
Brace yourselves. Recruiting season is coming.
Will non-target recruiting be happening soon as well for Lazard, or is it delayed from OCR?
I don't understand? What if I applied through their website... do they not consider that?
Lol
OCR simply means on campus recruiting. Doesn't refer to whether it's at a target or not. Non-target by definition won't see much OCR
That would be my point... Is non target and target recruiting going on at the same time, or does non target happen later?
If I’m interning over at a different boutique investment bank over this summer is there a way to put that down in my Resume? Or is this a thing I just have to mention in the hi review call
Any updates?
Another thread said that phone screens have started – can anyone confirm?
I heard they are probably pushing recruitment till summer
Source?
confirmed for boston
when do applications close?
Is it for US or Europe?
Can you apply for more than one position/city?
The recruiter told me that interviews will likely take place in the fall
Source? And target?
Just talked to an individual involved in the recruiting process and they told me that they are pushing back recruiting to the summer/May
Anyone know when the deadline is?
Anyone know if you apply to more than one position/city without getting dinged?
I was told that you can apply to any of them (and the app says so too), but that when you accept a superday with one, your process is over at the other and you can't go through that process anymore. So apparently you can apply to multiple but really only go through one process to the end. I also think that you can only apply to 1 other opportunity.
From what I understand this to mean, if you apply to M&A/restructuring then apply to private capital advisory (both in NY), then you can't apply to another office or any other divisions. So it's not like you can apply to literally everything, because then they won't even look at you. Limited to 2 apps total
Did you get an answer?
Boston office is out.
I've heard back and have a first round phone interview in a few days... anyone have any tips on what I should be expecting? This is my first interview
which city / role?
boston, the app was tech but I think it's more general
Any updates about Lazard Boston aside from 1st round interviews going out/happening?
no updates, just that there will be a second round phone/ possible video interview, then a virtual superday. Unsure when we'll hear back after first round
Just talked to a connection in NY, said that diversity is still going on, but everything else is pushed to the fall.
For all schools?
From the conversation I had, that's what it sounded like.
Hey guys, do you know if there is a "due" date for Lazard's apps? Originally was not planning on applying because of a lack of network at the firm, but if rumors are true that recruiting is getting pushed to late summer/fall, I might start networking hard for Lazard specifically and apply soon. Any insight is appreciated.
been networking with an alum finishing up their analyst years in a NY office and they advised me to get in my app before the end of the month — if you could get a call or two in before then I’d go for it...unsure of the hard deadline
Anyone heard anything from sf office? Was told things would ramp up a few weeks back, but obviously things have changed at least for the ny office being later
bump

Have a super day in two weeks - not NY. I am diversity from a non-target.
What city?
Chicago
hey can you please PM me I have a few questions
Does anyone know about SF's timeline?
BUMP, any updates?
Bump
I did my first round at Lazard in early feb (networked very early). Last update I got is they're pushing it to atleast may - still uncertain.
how about for the Houston office? any updates or when they’re interviewing? I’m assuming the 2021 class will be a lot smaller than previous years
my dad is actually seeing a Lazard recruiter lol. Apparently they’re wrapping up diversity recruiting, and will start the process ~August. however if you have another offer they can expedite the process according to her
Seeing as in dating? Bro, tell me you're planning on slippin into that superday lmao
NY Office?
Was told by a source at the firm that they can't accelerate processes.
Got a screener this week for RX - any advice / thoughts? Anyone else get one?
what office?
Just be prepared for technicals right off the bat, imo this was one of my hardest first rounds last year. It’s a bummer for them if you rerecruit after SA stint, so you’ll want to have a solid story as to why Chicago. Chi office is a solid group and the only way to go direct to RX
thanks!
could you PM?
Yo can you PM me plz?
Chi
was informed by an analyst who has the most updated news on recruiting but apparently first rounds for diversity are in the process and regulars will be interviewed from may... this is for new york. anyone else can confirm?
Does this include recruiting for MBA students or is this just undergrad?
this site is only for 19-20 year olds just get off
Did anyone hear back after 2nd round? When should we expect the superdays for Boston?
no updates so far
Have not heard back after my second round either
diversity?
What was your second round like? How did it differ from first?
Anyone hear back from Lazard Boston Second Rounds yet?
Lmao nope. Anyone else heard back yet?
still nothing
Any movement from RX in Chi?
I had a first round early this week and haven’t heard back yet.
Same
know someone who got a second round the day after their first round this week but not sure if they’re doing multiple waves, more may be sent out
Any update on this? Had a first round with CHI RX last Friday and haven't heard back yet.
Still nothing.
is this only for IB? or are there live applications for asset management?
any updates for NY tho?
Has anyone heard back for super days for the NYC office?
did you hear back from the super day?
Is it too late to apply?
Any updates on SF? Last I heard, they pushed everything back, but not sure if this is still the case given other updates.
following
Has NY started giving first rounds?
Yes first rounds are done but second rounds should come out this week or the week after.
I thought NY was going to recruit until late summer/fall, were you part of their diversity program?
Anyone know how many diversity hires they usually hire in the NY office? How many people get first rounds, superdays etc...?
Any updates on diversity recruiting?
Any updates on non-target non-diversity recruiting?
Updates on RX Chi?
nothing here - had first round on 4/28
There were super days this week
anyone know if lazard ny m&a is getting pushed back? their first rounds for non-diversity were around this time last year
yea they are getting pushed back to the end of the summer bc of COVID but diversity is happening rn
How about look at the rest of the thread before you ask the same question that's been answered a number of times already
lol I asked to clarify bc there hasnt been a recent thread with a credible direct answer to this question, plus there's been some conflicting information and few follow ups.
.
NYC?
Yes
if it was NYC, then probably.. I believe second rounds were last week
NYC non-diversity rounds were last week?
I was planning on applying today because I just had a networking call but the application isn't up on their site anymore??? have they closed?
Search by NY and it comes up
Ohhh thank you
Does anyone know if Lazard will accelerate the interview process if I have an exploding offer?
Has anyone had a first round interview? I just got one for the LA office and would appreciate any tips/advice
Do you have any tips for first round interview? I just got one scheduled
any input? have one as well.
Is there any limit on the number of applications you can submit (I know some firms say only three)?
would like to know this as well
Lazard says you should apply to only 3 positions.
curious where it said that
Is it three or two? I've heard conflicting things since their post on my campus Handshake portal says two max but their website says three.
NY Generalist IB and Cap Structure are definitely pushed back
Do you know to when?
Anyone have any updates for LMM NYC?
I am also wondering for Lazard MM
Any updates on Lazard recruiting NY and if they are accelerating if you have exploding offers?
.
Are cover letter or references recommended?
did anyone get a super day for Boston?
Nope. Heard nothing post 2nd round.
Same I thought mine went well but no response so far. Did they give you a timeline?
bump
any updates on sf?
bump
has anyone even received a first round invitation for SF yet? I applied a while ago and haven’t heard back.
.
I have not. Had mine last week.
How was your first round? Was it mainly focused on technicals?
have you heard back yet? had a first round last week
Anyone know whats up with NY?
Anyone have a second round in LA yet?
have you heard from them for a second round?
I don't know if it was a second round but I had "another phone interview" earlier today
anyone get an email for LA superdays?
No. How about you?
Nope....
did you already have a second round?
yeah like last week
Had first round with NY. Said they kicked off their process basically yesterday, it's going to be a relatively slow rollout, most likely I'd give them a couple weeks to get most first rounds done.
This is for diversity no? Multiple analysts said Lazard NY is kicking off in the Fall
Target, non-diverse but it may differ by team.
Exactly, I thought they were going later in the summer/fall?
Which team did you interview with? NY M&A and Rx?
Cap Structure Advisory, don't be stressed
Wouldn't be surprised if they moved up the timeline since many other banks are about to start going now.
What other banks are starting right now though? Evercore, MoCo, PWP, Citi are done so it's not like they're doing anything now, and GS, MS, JPM, BofA are all in the Fall (or opening apps in early July but kicking off interviews in August)
greenhill, PE SA, Jefferies has done a some i think, RBC, HL are done. thinking at this point it's mainly BBs still recruiting
