Considering PV valuation at Lincoln is mainly debt your options are probably limited to that
What do you mean by limited? What types of IB will be available do you think?
Lev Fin, DCM for IB, Private credit type roles because they value a lot of debt funds.
Also it depends on what type of valuation exp you get. If you’re valuing mezz/HY bonds you might get more exposure to the type of work in Levfin if you’re doing senior DCM would be more likely
I’ve been wondering what Lincoln Valuation is like. Could you share comp numbers?
85-90 base and 30-60% bonus
work in a different group at the firm but can confirm bonuses for analysts were 50-90% of base this year as they were spread really thin
Can I PM?
What were bonuses like for first year analysts in m&a?
Can you PM me?
I can also confirm 80-85 base first year
