Overview
Over the course of 3 days, we got a well-rounded overview of the Financial Advisory business at Lazard: its history, culture and people. We got to spend one-on-one time with an Analyst at their desk, learning more about the work they do day to day. In addition to this, we took part in skills workshops run by industry experts and product teams, as well as presenting a group project to an associate within the firm.
Skills
During the insight programme, I was able to gain exposure to the intricacies of investment banking and develop my analytical skills through valuation training with FitchLearning. In addition, I refined vital communication and interpersonal skills through a group presentation to an associate within the firm. I have been able to further develop these skills on Lazard's Spring into Summer Programme, which supports the transition into a summer analyst role.
Business Insight
To help spring participants understand all areas of Lazard's financial advisory business, bankers from across both sector and product desks presented on their teams throughout the insight programme. In addition to this, we got to spend one-on-one time with an Analyst "buddy" to further understand their role within the business.
Culture
Lazard had an open and honest environment with a real focus on meritocracy. Throughout they created a healthy learning environment where we all felt comfortable asking questions. There was a clear emphasis on learning as they invested multiple days to train us on both financial valuation and understanding advisory teams on a sector and product level.
Your Impressions
The insight programme was incredibly enjoyable. Having spent some time at larger firms, it was clear how much of an emphasis Lazard placed on learning and investing in their early careers. The intimate environment was very conducive to honest conversations.
Yes
Research Lazard's culture and know what makes Lazard unique and how it differs from larger firms. Understand how financial advisory differs from bulge bracket investment banking. Apply early as they recruit on a rolling basis.
