Pick Blair and never think about it again
Not a close one. Blair.
This one is pretty cut and dry, Blair.
Apologies, but is this a troll post?
William Blair hands down.
When was your Lincoln interview?
Is this for SA or FT?
How do you already have an offer with Lincoln? Did you get accelerated? Deadline to apply for my school isn’t till end of May
I'm at a target and went through an accelerated process
Congrats on the offer(s), could you shed some light on the Lincoln super day? Was it mainly behavioral vs technical or anything that might have caught you off guard?
Bro are you kidding me, NO LINCOLN
I'd say Blair if you want a better brand name, work on more complex transactions.
I'd say lincoln if you want to get absolutely grinded but know how to run a LMM sell-side M&A transaction like the back of your hand. You won't learn it anywhere else. You'll just grind out 50 million dollar deals like your shittin em out.
For everyone throwing MS. I personally prefer the latter of the 2 haha. There's actually real value in that
I’m gonna speculate the MS was probably from the deal size amount. Lincoln cranks out $100-300M deals rather than $50M. But who knows
For all the interns / income analysts reading this thinking there is a material different at the analyst level between a 50 million and 300 million dollar sell side. Let me tell you this now. There is not. Calm down y'all. The deal fee's don't hit your pockets. the logos will be the same. The comps will be the same, the prec. trans. will be the same. and your CIM's will be the same templates the 10 generations of analysts before you used
Swing and a miss on deal size. With that said Blair next question
Is this SA for 2022? How are they both sooo early?
Diversity is already done and normal recruiting is starting/wrapping up at some banks. I'm at a nontarget and have already interviewed with 7 firms — That should tell ya something about timeline
What office for Lincoln?
Blair for sure. Also is it true that analysts at Lincoln aren’t even allowed to touch / rarely touch models?
No, not true. Associates often run point but analysts are still pretty involved. Probably half the deals I worked on this summer the analysts were running the models - I think it’s partly a function of what associates are on the deals.
