Hey guys,
Recently got offers from both Lincoln International and Nomura (Not GreenTech) for their 2024 SA M&A/IB programs. Same pay and negligible difference in signing bonus, which one would you suggest going with in terms of exit opps, overall reputation, and mobility across firms on the street? I'm most interested in PE exits

If interested in PE exits would say Lincoln given sponsor-heavy focus and the ~generally~ strong culture. Mainly referring to TMT and Industrials here, healthcare is solid too but can be sweatier.
Pretty simple, crawl LinkedIn and see how many ex-Nomura vs ex-Lincoln ppl ended up at decent PE funds.
