Anyone know much about the Lazard SF HC team? They've had a couple open associate positions for some time, which is puzzling. Trying to get a read on culture, team dynamics, and hours. I've worked on the other side of a deal with them so I know they work on good deals.

06 May 2023

Lazard said on Friday that it would cut 10 per cent of its staff over the course of 2023, citing a continuing deep chill in deal activity and high costs from adding staff during the pandemic. Revenue from its deal advisory business fell 29 per cent in the first quarter from a year ago, according to...

Would be nice to get some insights on my profile for these programs since I could possibly get in a position of having to reject a potential full-time offer this summer (although I am very humble about even getting an offer) in order to study a master. I am looking to apply for the following: -...

Hello all, I have an internship offer for both and am stuck as to which I should choose. I have US citizenship, and an internal transfer to NYC is possible (probably 20-30% chance, slightly better WLB in London is very appealing). If it paints a clearer picture of my exit opportunities here, I am an...

Hi! I applied to the 2023 summer analyst program in sept '22; Pretty late compared to others so I know itll probably be a moot point, but if I have no updates that means I probably won't get any to come soon right? I was just about to start applying for their 2024 programs as I'm a sophomore (maybe...

19 May 2022

Hi all, I was fortunate enough to receive an offer from Lazard for 2023 SA. Currently deciding between this offer and a couple others, and trying to make culture/WLB one of the key factors in my decision. I know that Lazard has had a sweatshop reputation in the past, but have heard recently from...

25 Apr 2022

Hey all, was wondering if anybody has any insights on Lazard's Healthcare group (NYC). For some reason I am associating Lazard with being a little bit of a sweat shop.

Dear all, I'll be so much appreciated if I could have your valuable thoughts on which summer analyst role to choose among the following 3, in terms of learning curves, career trajectories, full-time return rates, compensations ... and all other aspects.

Hi Guys, If you were to choose MS Sales & Trading vs. Lazard AM Sales, which would you choose and why? Especially concerned about hours. London

Anyone knows them and can say what this is? Feels like the worst ranking I have ever seen and do not know what assumptions are behind this. Thought I would share since WSO Monkeys love to rank Banks, Cities, Deals and whatever can be ranked in the world of finance. 1. FT Partners 2. Evercore 3....

Hi Everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knows much about Lazard's Real Estate IB team? They did some deals with Brookfield which seems pretty cool, and seems like an all around solid team.

Can anyone speak to culture at Lazard's NY restructuring group post-COVID from analyst perspective? Do they adhere to the M/F remote? How bad are the hours? Weekend work? Culture?

31 Oct 2021

Hi, Has any of you ever passed technical test / modeling test for an analyst position in a Secondary Advisory team? They said transactions are more and more complex (because of GP-led transactions) What should I expect? Feedback from buy-side (secondary funds) are welcome! Thanks

Hi guys, I've been fortunate enough to get a summer internship at Rothschild and I have to choose between either M&A or Debt Advisory/Restructuring (Rothschild put DCM and restructuring under the same group), but I don't know what to pick! I'm drawn towards restructuring as I find the debt analysis...

I have a second interview with Lazard Asset Management for a Buy-Side Equity Research analyst position. I've heard the IB side is a sweatshop, does anyone have any color on the AM side, comp etc? Also, is Lazard a prestigious firm for AM, where there could be good exit opps? Thanks in advance

04 Oct 2021

Hi WSO, -- A couple of questions below for the Analyst level in London - any info would be great -- Is it a standardised system of top/middle/bottom bucket regardless of team?

Hi guys, Thought I'd give an insight into my time at Lazard working as an Analyst. WSO forums helped me learn a bit about the application process and differences between the EBs / BBs, so thought I'd include my experience. This is a throwaway account so please don't message me. I will try to speak...

Anyone heard back from Lazard on admittance to the Sophomore Diversity Program? Supposedly set to hear back today for the NYC program -- curious if anyone's received notice.

I've found this website to be immensely helpful throughout college and the beginning of my banking career. I thought I would return the favor by having an informative discussion around the current elite boutique landscape in the U.S. (although EB bankers elsewhere feel free to chime in). I think...

15 Jan 2021

Anyone been hired/made it through the summer 2021 analyst interview process? I know there's a megathread for Laz but since no one's gotten back to me there, I'd thought I'd try here as well. Just want to see if I didn't make the cut, as the application has been pulled down from their careers site....

Hi All, I'm currently an analyst at a EB (EVR / CVP / PJT) and business school has always been something I've wanted to do for various reasons, one of which is the optionality it provides for going abroad (originally from Asia). I know from personal sources that CVP sponsors MBAs, although I'm not...

Hi there! I have an interview at Lazard coming up and prepared a response to the question "Why Lazard?". However, I am not sure if it is fully accurate.

22 Nov 2020

I was wondering if anyone had any recollections/info about the first round for Lazard Chicago Restructuring division. I've talked to alum who's heard it's quite technical but couldn't get much more detail other than that. Feel free to drop what you've heard/experienced below. Much thanks!

06 Oct 2020

Had my superday in the past week. Has anyone heard from them or going through the process? I am a little worried, because I have not heard from them. I thought it went well and even a VP sent a nice reply after I sent a thank you email. Any other discussions are welcome
