I got a warm lead into this firm for an internship. Now I need to email that lead. This is one of the bigger name firms I’ll be applying for. I want to present myself well. Do any of you have insight about this particular firm that I should be aware of?
Yes, you might be interviewing for the CEO position.

iheartiheartmath Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Yes, you might be interviewing for the CEO > position. Wow. Can’t say much about them. I know they are very well respected and that AT&T uses them. Good luck!
Quant, do a search over at Wall Street Oasis dot com. Lots of great info on Lazard over there. Also, no history of heart troubles, right?
I knew someone in this firm through a college senior and and its very very well respected in my area at least. Pretty tough to get into AFA I know. More knowledgeable people on the forum could guide better though.
Great firm. Unless you ge tbetter offers from BB, dont snub them
Probably the best as boutique firm can go I heard. Good luck on your interview.
Lazard has a great reputation, and is definitely the most well-known middle market firm around. They compete with pretty much everyone from small boutique firms like mine (we actually just made a pitch in which they are the competition) to GS & MS. Best of luck to you!
Out of curiosity, is it their ‘Night Analyst’ position in Chicago? If so, I’ve known a handful of people who have done it. It’s a $h!t job, but most guys ended up getting solid analyst jobs out of it–a few even got analyst jobs at Lazard.

Think of it as a normal IB analyst role, only that your workday starts at around 4 or 5 pm. It’s designed for college kids who want to be able to put the spreadsheeting, etc, on their resume.

No, did you not notice that it’s 2009 and MBA internship oppotunities have changed a little bit since 2006?
No interview, but a solid lead to the hiring manager.
I know they send very nice rejection letters, personally signed. I framed mine.
^ haha.
If this is in the Twin Cities I’m assuming this is Lazard Middle Market - note the distinction. They do they smaller deals and have about 100 people, 60 or so of which are in the Twin Cities.
Lazard = higher pay and longer hours than average.
