Career Resources
That is a VERY good problem to have.
Depends on what year you are, what career you're looking to have, and where you want to end up out of school and long-term down the road. Give more information, and keep in mind you have a champagne problem. Or, more likely, get offers and then come talk.
Is blackrock advisory similar to IBD? Can someone explain to me what exactly it entails?
im asking because i heard that blackrock fa isnt that hot on the street while lazard is a very respectable mm shop
Unless you're specifically referring to Lazard MM, I'd be careful about calling Lazard a mm shop
Yep. Continental/United merger isn't exactly a MM deal.
Lazard isn't a mm shop. But Lazard MM is.... if the job you're talking about is with Lazard MM, then take the job at blackrock. If you're talking about a legit job in IBD at lazard (the real one), then take that for sure.
its lazard financial advisory... what about blackrock advisory respectable? salaries?

Are you talking about Financial Markets Advisory (FMA) at BlackRock, or a different group?
yes any ideas
FMA is like half consulting half IBD. As far as summer interns, this will be the first class they take. This summer will be the first class of full time analysts. FMA started in 2007, and previously they only hired people who had at least two years bulge bracket experience.
FMA was just hired on a job along with Barclays IBD and Boston Consulting Group for a project in Ireland, so you'll get great experience. With FMA, the issue is where do you go afterwards? The easiest path is just to stay in FMA or make a very easy switch over to PMG. You should have the skills to go into either IBD or a top consulting gig, but since FMA is only 3 years old no one has really done it before, so it's tough to say.
Lazard Financial Advisory refers to Lazard's core practice (aka IBD/M&A/restructuring), at least based on the website. Is that the position you are considering, or is it something else?
