Sponsorship at Lazard for FT - group-dependent or HR?
Hi everyone,
I would be grateful if anyone could tell me how the sponsorship process for a FT role works at Lazard.
Is it decided by the groups that want a candidate, is it location dependent, or is it HR that decides in bulk?
I am a recent MFin grad in Canada and managed to get a referral from senior leadership a few months ago. As it was not for any groups/active hiring process, I did not get a chance to prove my worth as HR seemed hesitant with the visa.
If it is group or location-dependent, I can actively reach out and land something through groups instead.
Thanks for any insights.
From what I have heard it’s on a case by case basis. But that’s only if you have access to STEM-OPT. If you don’t have OPT, your chances are probably non-existent, even with a referral from an MD. Lazard’s tends to be very selective even if you have STEM-OPT.

If you have stem opt that you have not used, I believe it is still eligible. According to what I have been told, if I do a master's program that is not stem, I can still apply for stem While I am unable to combine the stem opt from my undergrad, I would like to use the stem opt from my undergrad
Edit: this is what my schools international officer told me no clue if it’s accurate
Lazard is very harsh on internationals. TN doesn’t matter
And I don’t even have TN.
I think they do sponsor if you have someone big pulling for you.
Visa became an issue the moment I naively answered how the person referring me knows me lol.
Bump, interested as well.
Networked with a few juniors there but none seemed to know how it works for internationals.
Anyone at Lazard and knows can comment?
