Any insights on work culture at Lazard?

Potentially making the jump from Fed consulting to banking and wondering how much my world will be turned upside down

Fed consulting to IB? Ummm. That’s like going from playing cricket to Rugby, bruh. I’m curious a) how you landed that gig? And b) why? Good luck, though!

Heard it’s very long banking hours for IB. Nice office at Rockefeller Center!

Lazard and other elite boutiques (Moelis, Greenhill) are known for consistently having the worst hours compared to other banks

OP how did you land that offer? What type of work were you doing in Federal?

Bad hours but better exits, especially if you want to work in finance.

From what I've heard (n size = 1) and read online, the culture is still pretty traditional for banking. come in full business attire, work with people who may or may not be assholes (more of them in banking), and usually won't have protected weekends. Pay and exit opps are fantastic.

How did you make the switch? I'm trying to do it as well.

Hi Fishes,

I got email from LTI "Thank you for applying to LTIMindtree and going through our complete selection process" on 27 Sept but after 1 week I follow up on offer letter she said my approval got rejected due high expectation (35% hike ). We re-negotiate at 6 Sept (30% hike). Now they will release offer letter or not ?
