Might return anyways.. left about a year ago and quickly realizing my lifestyle hasn’t changed much and stability is nowhere to be seen.. something also tells me I’d be getting paid the same

Well Lazard AM is undervalued versus the rest of the “bank”. Maybe that is why?

@Lazard1 What industry you end up going into?

Hybrid HF / buyout fund. Brutal lifestyle

In PE now, coming up on 3rd year and don’t want to do MBA, so thinking about it. I want to move cities and sell side jobs are easier to come by.

@Lazard 1, Good luck and hang in there! Life will get better I promise.

I figured it out. The data scientist wants to be a Chief (not THE Chief, because bowls have multiple Chiefs), so he posts wacky clickbait that we all respond to, which helps him level up faster.

What projects are working for you on a cart? So far, weaving and fiber is going great for me. It leaves little mess in their classrooms and doesn’t require a ton of supplies on my cart. Supplies are also inexpensive.

Mid-level here. Has anyone gotten their firm to approve their doing work at a deep discount and, if so, what strategies did you use? A potential client approached me directly about a small matter (~20 to 30 hr amicus brief). The potential client (gov’t) pays a standard rate ~40% lower than mine, but I want to take on the project because it would be a good professional opportunity (e.g., high profile case & client) and of course the lower rate won’t affect my comp directly. 🤷‍♀️ All advice welcome!
