Strongest Verticals at Jefferies and Lazard

Hey all, currently an AS0 at a BB, but looking to make a career lateral (across banks and coverage areas) due to many reasons. I've gathered a decent amount of information from friends and peers about other BBs and their stronger verticals, but can anyone shine some light on which verticals (not just which coverage groups) at Jefferies and Lazard are relatively strong? Appreciate any insights or help.

In America, the strongest verticals at Jefferies are Healthcare Services (HC), Upstream A&D and Midstream (Energy), Tech-Enabled Services (Tech), ADG (Industrials), Advanced Mobility & Transportation (Tech), and Transportation & Logistics (Industrials)

I believe Lazard's very strong in Depositories, Financial Services, Insurance & Asset Management (Basically all of FIG except FinTech), ADG (Industrials), Automotive (Industrials), Pharma (HC), Healthcare Services (HC), and all-around C&R.
