I heard that Lazard San Francisco is still actually offering interviews for the healthcare group (not sure about tech). Not sure if it's worth interviewing for. I've heard it's a pretty strong group but these are from older threads. Any updated opinions/views?

Do they have good dealflow?
Heard similar things - they work pretty damm hard and the group is pretty nerdy. Very different from the tech group.
Any updates?

is this for SA or FT?
Job is a job. Could land much worse than Lazard
Fuck SF
How about the exit opps?
A) They finished a month ago B) Its biotech - most people do not exit

Why do people in biotech not exit?
same question. There should be biotech PEs right?
Idk
who all is going to the superday next Wednesday
bump
sweaty af
Ok
Friend worked there 3 years ago, workload is brutal and no one cares about personal life - every pitch is super specific and my friend worked almost every weekend. Worst part is that they pitch against Centerview and always lose so the vicious cycle starts again
Lazard SF is top in healthcare second only to probably CVP at the moment. If you're interested in healthcare, it's definitely a no-brainer if you can get the offer. You'll get a lot of deal flow experience and a better understanding of the industry since Laz has a strong financial advisory focus. But the work hours will be tough. If you have broader interests, it might be better to go generalist in Lazard NY and consider specializing in HC if you receive the full-time offer. As mentioned previously, you can't evaluate HC divisions on exits, most go to VC, corp/b dev, grad school (including medical), and sometimes hedge funds. Not the standard IB/PE route you'd see more often in generalist or tech M&A.
^ R you referring to west coast HC? CVP is top dog EB in that space. JPM has a small HC group in SF -- global head sits there.
LAZ SF for tech --> google consulting role essentially. few smaller M&A deals annualy.
Not sure about LAZ hc -- no contacts there.
Laz group in tech speicially will shoot you out to most VC / GE / and LMM --> MM pe spots (maybe, unsure though).
If you want upper MM / MF tech based PE, that's gonna be out of the questions for this group.
Why UMM/MF PE is not possible for LAZ SF Tech? Would you say the same about EVR/MOE/PJT/CVP SF Tech as well? What about BBs in SF? Thanks
Recent exits from LAZ SF include GI Partners and Golden Gate, which are very much UMM.
In the past year, I know Laz was on 1b+ acquisitions for Intel, Visa, VMWare in addition to typical google work, so I would say have better deal flow than a few smaller M&A acquisitions outside of google.
