Is it worth choosing Credit Suisse over Lazard because it's BB?
Would go with Laz - they are 100% focused on financial advisory vs. CS, great name and history, big player in continental Europe (Paris), London and also in the US. Also, pay is better there and culture has really been improving in the past few years
I’m a techie but Lazard has had a prime reputation since at least 10 years ago on all ivy campuses. I’ve never heard a real negative since then and I have for CS.
