I've heard back. Anyone else?
Did you hear back from the NY office to schedule a first round? I got phone screened from the Boston location and was wondering how long it takes to hear back for a first round.
what was the phone screen like? any technical?
Anyone get a first round with NYC yet?
From what I heard they have not reached out for first rounds yet. I believe offices such as SF & BOS will complete first.
alum said diversity and womens should be wrapping up in the coming weeks and non-diversity will commence in two weeks or so
Diversity, received an offer on the 6th
From which office location? & congrats!
Thank you! NYC
D
same!
Anyone had a lazard mm first round?
Yeah had first round call today! Hbu?
Congrats! What was the first round like?
I got a Lazard mm offer back in May? Must be a completely different timeline
Anyone have info on Lazard SF?
Any info on lazard chicago? RX and M&A
Following
So NY 1st rounds are out for M&A?
Also wondering if first rounds are out yet for NYC M&A/RX non-diversity?
they were on the later end last year
Can confirm div recruiting / interviews are wrapping up and first rounds have been sent out for the first wave with more coming out over the next few weeks and continuing into the summer
.
This was for NYC, I am not sure the timeline of other offices
Can you interview at Lazard MM and Lazard? Just got an MM first round and wondering what that could mean for my Lazard app.
If you get an LMM offer you cannot leverage it at Lazard (they have a non-compete) - PM me if you want more details
DMed!
Has anyone heard back from lazard chicago? Both RX and M&A
Already had RX first round
Can you share when?
Did you hear back for superday?
Anyone hear from SF?
Is the first round just mainly technicals?
For MM it was almost entirely technical except why Lazard MM and tell me about yourself
What about Lazard NYC? Similar I am guessing, were the technical questions pretty standard?
Are NYC M&A/RX first rounds out?
Walk me through a DCF, rank the valuation methods from highest to lowest (don't forget LBO as the lowest--think I got dinged for initially not including it), what is an LBO and why is it the lowest (that was the follow-up), and I think that was it in my memory.
.
Anyone know if second rounds for Lazard MM are out yet?
.
Anyone heard on SD for SF?
have any offers been extended?
Is it for Tech? Do you get any tricky questions? I will have my SD today
Anyone know when first round for NYC starting? Regular process not MM
Would like to know as well
Already started
for non-core/non-diversity?
Has anyone heard back from Laz LA yet? Had my SD with them on Friday.
same here. Haven't heard back
anyone hear back from laz chicago rx SD?
When did you have urs?
last week
Anyone hear back from SF SD?
nah i haven't
Yeah I did
did u receive an offer?
Does anyone have any insights on NY PCA?
^ just got first round, any insights on the PCA interviews?
Same here, don't really know what to expect for the interview
Same for me, don't really know how it'll compare to other groups
The PCA group focuses on two main things: fundraising (i.e. raising money for PE funds) and secondaries (selling of PE investments to another PE firm, pretty much PE M&A). Group is easily one of the top private capital groups on the street (along w/ Evercore as main competitor) and they usually have 3 analysts per class. Pretty good culture but work can be somewhat mundane at times (lots of contact logs and organizing emails) and exits are in general "meh" given the M&A/RX groups will recruit better.
FWIW the work tends to be somewhat easier (not much modeling here, mostly PPT) and you will get paid roughly the same (maybe $10-20k of a smaller bonus) as the M&A analysts, but your exits won't be as good and hours will probably be just as long. And to answer the inevitable question people ask: no, working directly with PE firms does not mean you will be able to exit to PE that easily.

Anyone know if Lazard Boston Office is done or even started offering first rounds? Not sure if I should keep following up there
They’re I’m the process already, sorry man
They hire 3-4 people and myself and a friend did 2nd rounds on Tuesday/Wednesday this week
Can you PM me? I'm going for NY and want to know what to expect for SDs.
How did the 2nd rounds go?
Hey did u do the superday?
So has non-diversity/non-core NYC started recruiting?
I know one friend from my school (non-target) that has this week. However, he didn't apply on their website yet and he had a relative that knew a MD that got him into the process, so it might be under the table. The Lazard recruiting session said the bulk of their recruiting wouldn't begin until applications closed, so I'm going to say no. Maybe diversity and targets have started, but most of non-core/non-diversity is pending would be my best guess.
anyone hear back from LA office. Had SD on friday. I'm guessing it's a no lol.
That's good to hear, thanks. Does anyone else have some fire insight like that
Is anyone on hold for consideration for the final round interview for regular process NY?
Anyone have updates on SF?
I'm not sure if they're done or not, but I know that people already have heard back about superdays
Do u know for which offices, and when they went out
Getting super-days or receiving offers?
Just finished my first part of the superday. Very technical heavy. Know your Merger model calculations!
how did the rest of your super go?
Can you pm me?
Why did Lazard 2022 – Financial Advisory M&A (NY) just open apps?
is this on handshake? i thought apps recently closed
Is NYC recruiting over?
bump, does anyone know this?
dont think so, had a first round this week
edit
Just got the Boston offer along with another kid from my target. Said that there’s only two non-diversity spots for SA this year so they’re done now
When'd you get the call?
Heard in prevous years its a chat with an MD. was it that or
As in the MD calls you to give you the offer?
.
Anyone know people who got offers for the LA office?
Got a superday with the Lazard MM NYC office - anyone have experiences with this or have any pointers for superdays?
Congrats
Anybody have a recent SD with Lazard?
SD next week
Has anyone heard back from NY M&A/restructuring?
When was your superday?

Non-core, non-diversity offers have been going out.

^ can anyone give insight?

Does anyone know whether Lazard views applying to two groups such as PCA and CSA in a negative manner?
Has anyone heard back from NYC M&A/Restructuring? The status of my application is not updating, so I'm assuming I'm out of the process? I talked to the lead recruiter a month and a half ago and she said that I could also reapply for the Fall if I didn't get an offer to interview now. I'd appreciate any advice/information!
I haven't heard back either, but just assumed I got rejected. Seems like some people had gotten interviews already. Last year they recruited in fall but not sure if it's the case this time
Yeah same here. The recruiter I talked to said they also recruit in the fall and that those who got rejected the first time around can reapply for the Fall.
Anyone heard back from AM?
MD told me process hasn’t started yet.
Geez tysm
I applied for Financial Advisory - San Francisco Technology Summer Analyst Program on 15th July, is it too late? or any updates?
No! Have you?
Haven't all Lazard locations been done for a while?
Yes.
