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.

HC strong at both Jefferies and Lazard.
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.
How's the Insurance practice at JEF FIG? I figured that might be a strong vertical since JEF poached the top FIG bankers at CS and most of CS FIG's top deals were Insurance.
Too early to tell. JEF just poached them earlier this year and results will take a bit longer to realize.
Is Storm Duncan the guy who leads the Advanced Mobility and Transportation practice? Worked under him back when he was Global head of Tech M&A at CS, and can confirm that man is a beast.
Ah yes Storm. The man has a lightning bolt emoji in his email signature. I can confirm, that he is in fact the man and is good to work with.
Damn just looked him up and yeah that man's history is impressive to say the least. Didn't know he was the lead buy-side advisor on the Google-Youtube deal.
Lazard is very strong in RX as well
Not exactly an industry vertical but fair.
Bump
which EBs have strongest C&R practices?
CVP by a significant margin, then Evercore and Lazard.
thanks - any insight on hours/culture for someone considering a career lateral move?
