Lincoln International Return Offers
Lincoln’s only giving out 50% return offers this summer. Byproduct of years of over hiring and going public?

Bump, how are returns looking for Chicago and NYC?
Over hiring? Don’t they run lean af?
Poor backlog? AI? Idk
Got a buddy who interns there (not saying which office). The firm completely went back on their “the return offer is yours to lose” thesis, assuming due to the IPO and AI. Regarding offer rates: Chicago 50%, maybe less, Dallas ~1/3 and NY in the same realm. They’ve implemented a waitlist this year too which seems to be more or less a soft rejection.
Heard reviews were absolutely brutal too with half-assed and blatantly false feedback. Would absolutely reconsider Lincoln post-IPO from the sounds of it.
A burner to make this long-ass thing?
Yeah, you are just an intern who didn’t get a rt. Sorry, bro.
What’s the relevance of having IPOed? Comps have lower employee compensation?
ignore the title. have a friend who works there and a family friend interning there. probably a byproduct of hiring from a shit ton of non target schools like iowa, W&L, ohio state, etc. when 60% of your interns come from schools that dont even rank in the top 50, not sure you can expect some good analysts. sorry but that’s the harsh truth - they just aren’t as prepped and dont know what to expect going into it
Stfu, prospect
