Live laugh Lincoln. I love Lincoln.
I talked to 2 people from Lincoln within the last month-ish and all it did is reaffirm that I definitely do not want to be at Lincoln
And what’s your reason for saying that? I spoked with a couple and so far they’ve been pretty nice. One analyst is in HC ( one of there sweatiest groups) and he said so far it’s been pretty chill. He even goes out every Saturday. Aside from that, pay is street and bonus is like 80-100% of base (110k base for analyst).
Nobody at Lincoln is making 190-220k as a first year analyst, that'd be top of street. Lincoln is fine and it's a good place to start a career but from my experience talking to people in the industrials group specifically, they're a sweaty volume shop (like most MMs) but don't get the same big-ticket deals in addition to the volume work that other MMs like HL, WB, etc. get.
Maybe it's not true for other groups but the sentiment I got was that these analysts spent a lot of time getting staffed on either pitches they didn't win, or just small kinda shitty deals... morale seemed low. But, this could be exclusive to the industrials group so who knows
I see. thanks for the insight. I was looking into there business services group which is mainly in Chicago so hopefully thats a better group than industrials. Have calls scheduled with two analysts in business service group so will find out more about it by next week. As per comp, you're probably right, 200k does seem unrealistic.
Industrials is their best group
This is just plain inaccurate. Industrials is Lincoln's bread and butter, and they are very well-known in the Midwest MM space there.
an2 at lincoln chicago in the industrials group
-pay as an an1 is always from 150-210. Mine was 190.
-industrials is the sweatiest group so yes its despressing at times due to volume.
-culture is 10/10
