Spring Intern Review

Presentations by various teams in the IBD arm of Lazard, technical workshop, work shadowing with a Spring Buddy, essentially an Analyst in one of the teams. Group project to work on over the first 2 days, followed by a presentation on the last day to a Vice President. Ended off with networking drinks with employees across teams.

(1) Exclusive insight into product and sector teams, with the presentations highlighting key considerations when executing deals as well as Lazard's most remarkable deals (2) Technical skills gained from the workshop as well as the group project which was in line with real-world scenarios, such as presenting on deal rationale, synergies, and deal recommendation

Fantastic insight into the business. Work shadowing gave exposure to the day-to-day job, and a Spring Buddy who can answer any questions one may have. The presentations by various teams also gave insight into the intricacies of deals.

Great culture - affinity networks to find a sense of belonging, social events, and the spring week paving way to become a close-knitted Analyst class. Great support network, with a Spring-to-Summer Buddy as well who can help with easing into the summer programme to get that conversion. Employees I've spoken to were all very helpful in sharing more about their roles and experiences.

Enjoyed the insight thoroughly - was a good mix of learning from presentations, hands-on from the group project, networking with other spring candidates and Lazard employees. Loved that it ended with a bash through the networking drinks that was attended by employees of different seniority.
