Lincoln MM Lateral Opportunities?

I’ll give my 2 cents. I worked there for about a year before lateraling elsewhere and now accepted a MM PE job. In my time there, the deal flow was great and I spent most of time executing on sellside deals. The pitches I did work we usually won. Most of the time we went into the pitch basically with the deal in the bag as it was usually with a sponsor we had a really good relationship with. The deal work I did was definitely heavy on process and teaser / CIP / MP writing. Most of the time the associate takes the model work. The experience was not technical heavy as an analyst, take that as you want. I will say, of all 3 banks I worked at, Lincoln I thought had the best culture and people. I worked hard (nothing excessive but normal banking hours) and people were generally down to earth, respectful and nice. I probably would have stayed longer if it wasn’t for other factors, I actually really enjoyed the people I worked with from associates to MD. Hell I worked with an MD that would turn sponsor comments on the CIP in the ppt. Other places I worked you would have thought the associates had uninstalled ppt and excel let alone someone at the VP or MD level. I don’t have any advice on when you would be to recruit for another role but I don’t see why you wouldn’t be competitive to lateral to another bank with Lincoln on your resume since it’s a very legitimate shop. Whether that’s after your internship, after a year on the desk full time idk. Also, you’re going to get the same amount of technical experience as any other intern in banking, which is basically none. Align logos, shell out pages, do things like redact documents and other stuff analysts don’t want to do so not like you will be behind the ball on anything. Lincoln is a good firm and I wouldn’t be so hard on yourself but I think sometimes being on this site can warp your brain to think if you’re not in some crazy prestigious group then it’s a failure / let down. So celebrate the offer!
