3 questions, 15s prep time and 2 minutes to speak. Questions are pretty usual for Advisory but didn't end up getting the offer regardless
What is your greatest personal achievement
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Lazard (City of London, England) in Feb 2025
Interview
only one stage. HR+analyst!
it was solely behavioural.
some commercial awareness goes a long way but really confidence seems to be all you'll need!!
However, I was slightly nervous and probably overshared and overspoke in some places because my technicals werent that well prepped!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A slightly weird question, framed rather arrogantly lol.
If it wasn't for the pay, why would you begin your career with us?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lazard (London, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
Simple HireVue questions asking about motivations and passions. Had about 2 mins to answer the questions and 20 seconds to prepare your answer. There wasn't anything surpising or difficult about the questions. Generic.
