Lazard Investment Banking Analyst jobs
A $120K analyst base and a generalist rotation across M&A and Restructuring — but the 2027 US window has closed.
The Financial Advisory Analyst role
Lazard analysts build financial models, research companies and industries, and prepare client presentations on M&A, restructuring, capital markets and private capital advisory mandates, working on small deal teams with senior bankers. The NY summer program is generalist and rotational, with formal training, mentorship and exposure to the leadership team, while Restructuring and other specialized groups can be applied to directly. Summer analysts are the main feeder into the full-time class.
Roughly 60–70 US summer analysts by third-party estimate (Lazard does not publish it); the NY program is a generalist rotation across Corporate Finance Advisory, Capital Solutions, M&A and Restructuring, with direct Restructuring placement offered separately, and starts with a week of NY training.
Lazard IB analyst salary
Base: Lazard’s own NY 2027 Financial Advisory Summer Analyst postings state a base salary of approximately $120,000 (pro-rated for the summer); a NY FIG analyst posting lists $120,000–$125,000. All-in: Mergers & Inquisitions’ 2026 update (end-of-2025 bonuses) puts top-bucket first-year analysts at Lazard, Evercore and Moelis at roughly $180k–$195k — mid-bucket analysts land lower.
