Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The programme was for 3 days and involved attending talks about different sectors within the firm and working on a group project detailing a past transaction Lazard had worked on.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very useful. The insight programme gave me a firm grasp of the different divisions at Lazard and helped me make a more informed choice about what future career path I want to pursue. I will be returning to Lazard as the experience was extremely good.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Lazard
Apply early and make sure you know why you want to join financial services and Lazard in particular. When interviewing relax and take it as a conversation. Lazard seem to like personable and friendly people, so don't try and put on a persona you think will impress the company.
