E73: Lazard Private Fund Advisory to Head of Investor Relations at Searchlight Capital

In this episode, Emily shares her path from a non-target school to landing a summer internship at Goldman Sachs. What she did when she didn't get the return offer in 2008 and a detailed dive into the day to day of analysts in the fund advisory group at Lazard. Learn how that group and working as a placement agent is different from investment banking and why a transition to investor relations in private equity is a natural next step. Also, some important advice on the one thing you should believe in before taking on significant career risk. Listen to the WSO Podcast: Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
