MS Menlo and Lazard SF Tech - 2024 Updates
Wanted to hear some thoughts and recent updates on these 2 groups, specifically in terms of PE exits, culture, and WLB. For exits, I'm primarily focused on MF/UMM PE exits (tech-related or otherwise), and not interested in VC/Growth or corp dev.
Is MS Menlo still insanely sweaty? What's their WFH policy currently and do they still do name calls in the mornings?
How's the recent deal flow at Lazard SF Tech? Have heard good things about their WLB but is that still the case?
Which group would you choose if you want to optimize for buyout PE exits (not VC/growth) without getting too burnt out after 2 years? Is the MS Menlo brand worth the incrementally tougher culture / WLB?
Lazard SF Tech is a sweatshop, ok exits but not supportive of recruiting, history has kept them afloat but trending downwards
Menlo Tech is a sweatshop, great exits and supportive of recruiting, top 3 tech bank
Got it, didn't know that Lazard SF Tech is a sweatshop. Are they sweaty on live deal work or other things?
Which group is sweatier?
agree seems like a sweatshop and pretty sharp elbowed - less so for juniors but esp for mid levels
Lazard or MS?
Both. But MS has historically been super sweaty - laz tries to come off as more lax but it’s just talking the talk
Do you have offers? If so could you please pm. Spoke with both groups and can say MS might be slightly sweatier but far ahead in terms of exit opps, category defining deals and strong focus on tech.
Just pm'd
