Lazard is Asset Management right? It's a hedge fund type firm?
Even if it's not IB, any worthwhile position in Finance is better than none, I suppose.
Why does Mergers and Inquisitions (the blog) seem to have a very negative view towards Sales and Trading in general? I know IB and trading are very different, but the blog tells it as if traders are screwed and will never reach the god-like status of IB bankers. I know traders and IB bankers have very different skill-sets, but it's a bit condescending and I'd like to know why. Only because of the average pay difference?

Finance positions advertised in the market are usually not IB FO jobs. Be aware of what you're applying for.
In the end, it's down to what you want to do.

may I know if there's any chance for engineering graduate to go for IB ? I know it's difficult but I would like to know how possible it is ...
It's pretty common to see engineering grads working in IB. Uni brand name, results and other qualities matter more than the choice of your undergrad course.
