You can probably lateral but Lazard isn't half bad. I used to know guys at Lazard in london and they absolutely killed it. Don't know if that's the truth in the states or it still is but it doesn't have to be BB or bust.
too much info given here.. at least take your school name off. I'd say try to lateral to GS or Blackstone or Evercore. i wouldn't switch for MS, JPM, depending which contacts you have at which groups.
is it Lazard mm or actual Lazard?
Why do you want to lateral? You might get a better experience there than any BB.
I did from Lazard but it depends on the group/location. What group/location gave you the offer?
Veniam natus similique aliquid incidunt ut soluta et. Vel quo nihil nesciunt perferendis quos enim. Delectus maiores cum nostrum aperiam qui architecto.
