Leerink’s banking team is actually based out of NY. Comp is street across all of their offices and exit opps are solid into healthcare PE and late-stage vc/growth life sciences. I disagree with the above commenter. Most of Leerink’s deals are in the UMM territory and they have smaller teams so your experience as an analyst should be better than the other MM’s like Piper Sandler or other boutique competitors like Cain bros considering what their deal flow looks like on league tables compared to the total number of analysts.

 

Check the transactions on their website. You’re right about the majority of disclosed deals not being UMM, but they do UMM deals more than you’re suggesting.

 

It looks like a lot of the transactions are around 100-250MM Equity Capital Raises for multibillion dollar companies so I would think this would make them UMM

Yes, although recruitment is wrapped up now. Make sure you're on Leerink's radar for SA by late spring at the latest.
